Viewing multiple comment pages on one screen in ppt 2002

How can you view multiple comments from different slides all on one screen?
If I have 100 slides and comments on each of them, is there a way to view
these in order 1-100 on the screen, where I can simply read them and make
changes or whatever without having to click on every single slide to view
these? I am using powerpoint 2002, it seems like other versions may have
this function, but in 2002, it may not. Please help!

Try this:
Click View > Toolbars > Reviewing.
This will bring up the reviewing toolbar.
The Next item and Previous Item allows you to navigate through the comments.

If you click View > Toolbars > Revisions Pane, you can also see all the
content of the comments on the current slide.

twjeff,
PowerPoint has a one on one relationship with notes. I am sure you are aware
that you can edit/see them in Notes view (View - notes view). In that view a
simple page down brings you from slide to slide.
I usually adapt the notes master to accomodate more space for text and less
for the slides thumbnail placeholder. Choose View - Master - Notes Master -
adapt the scale, usually I also apply a larger font to the text placeholder
to make the text readable.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for this! I don't care if I edit the files or not, that doesn't
matter to me whatsoever because all I am doing is recording what is written
sometimes making some modifications in what I say.

I have brieifly looked at the webpage you gave me, seems to be a bit of an
undertaking as I am not a programmer, but I guess creating a macro cannot be
all that difficult. We'll see.

I am still open to other suggestions incase I cannot figure out how to get
this macro working.

Thanks again!

Jeff

Hi again Steve,

I have tried your suggestion and it does indeed work, thank you.

However, now the question is, is there any way to color code those lines of
notes? For example highlighting the text in two different colors so you don't
get confused which one you just looked at. I would like to see one that
alternates from like a highlighted yellow to a highlighted orange or
something like this, or even just one color, yellow and white would be fine.

As I am recording it is easy to forget which one I just read, if I alternate
a color it will be easier.

Let me know.

Thanks!
