If a co-worker asks you to review an important presentation, PowerPoint makes it easy to add your comments directly to each slide. To do so, just click Comment (Insert menu). Any comments you add to a slide will appear on an electronic “note” that looks very much like the sticky notes you use when reviewing print documents.

If you are preparing a presentation and want to view comments that other reviewers have made, click Show Comments (View menu). After you review the comments, click Hide Comments (View menu).

Send your presentation to several reviewers at once   While working in PowerPoint, you can use e-mail messages to distribute your presentation to multiple reviewers. Click Send To (File menu), and then click Mail Recipient or Routing Recipient. For more information, see Distribute Documents Online.

Shape your comments   You can transform the appearance of a selected comment by using one of the many built-in drawing shapes available. On the Draw toolbar, click Draw, and then click one of the commands on the Change Autoshape submenu.
