Comment box
Hi there - does anyone know a quick way to get text into a
Comment Box, to save typing? Is there a way to copy and paste text from one Comment Box to another, or to copy a Comment Box, then rename it? I need multiple Comment Boxes in my diagrams, with much the same text in each..... Help save my typing fingers! Thank you in anticipation, Fiona Neilson )

Comment box
What version of PPT are you using, and are you talking about true comment
boxes (View/Comments), or are you talking about regular autoshapes or textboxes? I'd think copy/paste would be the fastest... -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Fiona Neilson" wrote in message ...

Is there a way to copy and paste text from one Comment Box to another, or to copy a Comment Box, then rename it? In PowerPoint 2000 and earlier, you can copy/paste comment boxes like any other shape (or right click/drag to where you want the new copy and choose Copy Here from the popup menu). In PPT 2003 (and probably 2002) Rightclick the existing comment, choose Copy Text Rightclick the existing comment again, choose Insert Comment Press Ctrl+V to insert the copied text into the new comment As to renaming the comment, I'm not sure quite what you're after. Changing the name at the top? In 2000 and previous, select and retype it. As to editing comments, PowerPoint 2002 and later appears to be a test to see how many words you know that wouldn't be acceptable in polite society. -- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Featured Presenter, PowerPoint Live 2004 October 10-13, San Diego, CA www.PowerPointLive.com ================================================
