Track changes in PowerPoint

[Angela]

PIs it possible to mark up text in PowerPoint slides the same way as in Word
(i.e. with changes showing in a different colour). I am trying to make
suggestions for alternative text in a presentation, but I want the
suggestions to show in track changes mode.

Also, how do I activate the reviewing tab, which is grayed out?

I think we have PowerPoint 2002. I would be grateful for any enlightenment.

If you have a Mac, you don't have PowerPoint 2002.
This is a Mac group; if you do have PPT 2002, you probably want
Public.PowerPoint instead.

But since we're here ...

There's no track revisions feature in PowerPoint (any version) that behaves
like the one in Word.

You can use Comments to make suggestions though. In 2002/2003, choose Insert,
Comment and type away. Once you've inserted a comment, the reviewing bar
becomes available.

Note that if your associates use PPT 2000 or earlier, they won't be able to
view your comments.

I believe you've posted to the wrong newsgroup - this one is for PPt on the
Mac.... But if there is a Reviewing Tab it sounds more like Office 2007
Office 2002 has conventional Menus & Toolbars, not "tabs". Be sure to
specify your version when you post. You'll find the PC PPt group here:
