To create the comment, add the text you want, and then press ctrl+enter in PowerPoint for Windows or cmd +enter in PowerPoint for Mac, or click the Post button.Select the object you want to comment and click the New Comment button in the floating toolbar that appears.The comment bubble will stay in the correct position and move with the object. You can still anchor to objects by highlighting the item and creating a comment. If the entire highlighted text is deleted, the comment will attach to the object the text was in. Adding text at the beginning or end of a range of highlighted text will not expand the highlighted area. Likewise, removing text will cause the highlighted area to contract. Any text you add within the highlighted range will expand the highlighted area. Īfter creating and anchoring the comment, you can edit the highlighted text. To create the comment, press ctrl+enter in PowerPoint for Windows or cmd +enter in PowerPoint for Mac, or click the Post button.

Select the text you want to anchor the comment to, and then click Review > New Comment, or click New in the Comments pane.

Text anchors enable you to attach your comments to a specified range of text, instead of to an object, like an image, an embedded graphic, or an entire slide. Today, we’d like your feedback on two ways you can create and use comments: text anchors and comment bubbles. For a quick review of that feature set, check out this post. We started our Modern Comments journey a couple years ago to introduce collaboration features to PowerPoint that take advantage of the cloud-based, connected world we live and work in. We would love for you to try out a couple of scenarios and give us feedback.

I’m excited to share with you that we are turning on Modern Comments by default to help you collaborate more effectively. Greetings, Office Insiders! My name is John Teichman and I’m a Program Manager on the PowerPoint team.
