View comments in a presentation

I insert several comments in a power point presentation, I want to
know if it is possible that when I am using a laptop to show a
presentation on a projector, to view the comments on the laptop but no
on the projector.

Hi Hugo,

The comments' indicators are shown on the primary screen (the edit view
screen, if you are showing in dual screen mode without presenter view
activated). In order to expand these, you need to click on them twice.
Once to activate the edit view (and pause the projected presentation) and
another time to expand them for reading. To re-enter the paused
presentation show, click on the 'Resume Show' button (if it is not visible,
you may need to use the View => Toolbars => Slide show method).

If you are using the presenters view (dual screen mode only), then you will
need to use the Alt+Tab method to select the PowerPoint edit screen and use
the above method to expand the comments.

If you are using single screen mode (if the laptop screen is copied onto the
projector) then you will need to use the projector's freeze function (if it
has one) and use Alt+Tab to 1) switch to the edit mode, 2) click on the
comment to read the note, 3) re-start the show using 'Resume Show', and 4)
unfreeze the projector. Alternately, after freezing the show, you can exit
the show and re-start it on the same slide before unfreezing the projector
