Can't see comments created on PowerPoint for Windows

[Paul Berkowitz]

Is that a "Best practices" sort of recommendation or does it literally not
function w/o them?

Literally. The Mac OS requires a main menu bar at the top of the _screen_
(not window), with an Apple, app (PPT), File, Edit, Help and other menus.
The next Mac Office will need to abide by that. I'd guess that some of the
current menu items might be replaced by palettes like the Formatting Palette
that will correspond somewhat to chunks in Office 2007. But you'll be able
to open them from a menu item (or - who knows? - even a button on a toolbar:
no way of knowing that for a long time). It's bound to be at the very least
somewhat more familiar and ration than 2007 at least to begin the "search"
process for an item by browsing the menus in the main menu bar.

PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using -
**2004**, X or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions
otherwise.

Interesting. Thanks!

Hmmm. So the current Tabs (that look more or less like menu items anyhow)
could become the menu items, and clicking them could trigger a single floating
context sensitive palette that looks lke the second bit of the 2007 interface
... ughhh.

I hope not!

Other than knowing we will have menus, there's not much else that is
known about Microsoft's plans for the next version of office for Macintosh.
