Viewing multiple comment pages on one screen in ppt 2002

[Guest]

How can you view multiple comments from different slides all on one screen?
If I have 100 slides and comments on each of them, is there a way to view
these in order 1-100 on the screen, where I can simply read them and make
changes or whatever without having to click on every single slide to view
these? I am using powerpoint 2002, it seems like other versions may have
this function, but in 2002, it may not. Please help!

Try this:
Click View > Toolbars > Reviewing.
This will bring up the reviewing toolbar.
The Next item and Previous Item allows you to navigate through the comments.

If you click View > Toolbars > Revisions Pane, you can also see all the
content of the comments on the current slide.

twjeff,
PowerPoint has a one on one relationship with notes. I am sure you are aware
that you can edit/see them in Notes view (View - notes view). In that view a
simple page down brings you from slide to slide.
I usually adapt the notes master to accomodate more space for text and less
for the slides thumbnail placeholder. Choose View - Master - Notes Master -
adapt the scale, usually I also apply a larger font to the text placeholder
to make the text readable.

Hi Tohlz,
Damn, I thought he meant the notes at the bottom of the page. Oh well.

i was wrong, it is not comments, it is notes. I did add the reviewing
toolbar, but it doesn't help me. I still have to go from slide to slide to
see the notes on the bottom of each page. I want to bring up those notes,
all on one page. The reason is, I am doing some recording work for a
company, they use ppt and a recording software, well, i have to switch
between the two programs too often, so I am hoping to view all those notes on
one page where I can scroll through them rather than have to click on each
individual side to see the notes on the bottom.

We can give you a file with all of the notes text in it, but there'd be no
connection back to the notes pages ... in other words, edits to the file wouldn't
be reflected back in the PPT file.

It could be set up so that there's e.g. "Slide XXX" before the notes text ... you
could bold that or add an asterisk before it or whatever as a flag that "I've
edited this one, need to copy/paste it back into PPT"

Have a look here:

Hi Steve,

Thanks for this! I don't care if I edit the files or not, that doesn't
matter to me whatsoever because all I am doing is recording what is written
sometimes making some modifications in what I say.

I have brieifly looked at the webpage you gave me, seems to be a bit of an
undertaking as I am not a programmer, but I guess creating a macro cannot be
all that difficult. We'll see.

I am still open to other suggestions incase I cannot figure out how to get
this macro working.

Thanks again!

Jeff

You don't have to create anything ... it's all done for you right there on the linked
page. From there, it's a simple copy/paste operation.

Look at the bottom of the page for a link to another page that tells you how to use
the code.

Hi again Steve,

I have tried your suggestion and it does indeed work, thank you.

However, now the question is, is there any way to color code those lines of
notes? For example highlighting the text in two different colors so you don't
get confused which one you just looked at. I would like to see one that
alternates from like a highlighted yellow to a highlighted orange or
something like this, or even just one color, yellow and white would be fine.

As I am recording it is easy to forget which one I just read, if I alternate
a color it will be easier.

Let me know.

Thanks!

No, because it creates a simple ascii text file and opens it in Notepad; neither ascii
text format nor Notepad support color or other text formatting.

You could save the file and open it in WordPad, Word or any other editor and format it
however you like though. Or just select all the text and copy/paste it into whatever
program suits you.

I would like to see one that
