Word 'multi-user edit' capability added to PowerPoint

[Guest]

In large work groups [especially those in different buildings or on different
floors) , it would be very useful to have the 'edit/revision' capabilities
[similar to Word] work in PowerPoint - now users/reviewers can only send
messages saying 'change it' etc...rather than providing exact wording or
reformatting at the exact desired place.

Have you tried using PPT's "send for review" and then merging the changes?

Another idea, although a bit more involved, is to make a "base presentation"
that opens broken-out sections of the original slideshow. This allows for
each section to be edited independently and simultaneously.

After all the edits are completed, the slideshow sections can be re-joined
together or left to run from the base presentation.

True, and a good suggestion it is.

While waiting to see if MS adds it to the next version of Office, try using
Comments in the meanwhile. Insert, Comment to add one to your slides. Enter
your text then click OFF the comment to close it. You can drag the yellow
comment icon wherever you like on the slide (for example, move it to sit atop
whatever the comment relates to).
