Received a ppt file from a colleague with comments or sticky notes and
I cannot see them on my mac...any suggestions?? I am running MS
Powerpoint 2004 v 11.3.5.

Is the colleague using Windows PPT 2002 or later? If so, that'd be the cause.
Comments from those versions are not compatible with earlier PPT versions, Mac
or Windows.

This can only be repaired back on the Windows PC. This may help:

Convert PowerPoint 2002/2003 comments into PowerPoint 2000 comments
