How can I get Comments to appear when PPT is in the Slide Show mod

[Tennisgal]

Comments appear when I am looking at individual PPT slides but if I am
looking at my presentation in the Slide Show mode, the comments don't appear.
I am sending my PPT to others to review and will not know if they are
looking at the presentation in individual slide mode or slide show mode. I
have Microsoft Office Powerpoiint 2003.

This is by design -- so if you miss removing a comment and are truly giving
a presentation, you won't be embarrassed by it showing up unexpectedly.

You can convert PPT 2003-style comments to old-style comments, and they'll
show up in show view. See

Convert PowerPoint 2002/2003 comments into PowerPoint 2000 comments

Why not? They show in PPT 2000 in show mode, too.

Confirmed. It's a bug in PPT 2003 and Viewer 2003.
2002 too I'd imagine, but haven't checked yet.

I don't know that this is a bug. It may be by design.
