G Guest Jul 28, 2006 #3 Does anyone know how to: 1. Change/Remove the numbering of the comment 2. Remove the date on the comment Would custom coding be required? -- ~ Ania ~ Echo S said: Go to Tools/Options and change the user name on the General tab. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com Jim2003 said: One can insert a comment box in powerpoint.

S Steve Rindsberg Jul 28, 2006 #4 Does anyone know how to: 1. Change/Remove the numbering of the comment 2. Remove the date on the comment Would custom coding be required? Click to expand... Yes. The code would have to read the properties of the existing comment, delete it and create a new comment in its place. Wait ... on second thought, there's a way to do this ... but it's seriously tedious. Choose Tools, Macro, Microsoft Script Editor. In the project explorer, click the slide that hosts the comment you want to change. Use Ctrl+F to bring up the search dialog and search on "Author". That'll take you to the first comment. It's fairly obvious what to edit.
