Yes, I already tried that. In Powerpoint 2000 it's "Show/Hide Comments"
Thanks for the try, anyway.

Browse All TopicsI sent a Powerpoint presentation to a friend. He added comments and sent it back to me. But I can't view them--nothing shows up.
He's on an XP machine, and is using Powerpoint 2002. Is that the reason I can't see his comments? (I can see my own, after I put a couple up)
Is there any way for me to see those comments, other than upgrading to 2002?
Thanks

Apparently they are invisible in 2000
"Problem
If you enter comments in PowerPoint 2002 and later, they're invisible to people who open the presentation in PowerPoint 2000 and earlier, and in Mac versions at least through PowerPoint X."
But there is a macro here to convert them so you can see them:

Upon initially opening the file, you may try to open the "Reviewing" toolbar and select the first button, "Show/hide markup".
I apologize if you have already done this.
