Re: How do you activate the commentaries at the bottom of each page of a presentation

Dave,
First
I see Steve Rindsberg has offered to help you in a previous thread. You have not quite answered his questions. If I understand correctly you want the same text to appear in the notes window beneath each slide in edit mode? Then you could go to the Notes master, type some text in the footer placeholder and drag it into the notes box at the appropriate spot. To get to the notes master, choose View - Master - Notes master. In French that would be, Affichage - Masque - Masque de commentaires.
Second.
I'm guessing here, have you received a presentation to revise via e-mail. If you open the presentation do you get a message asking if you want to revise? The only way you can add comments like you describe is when you revise (little yellow cards), there should be a toolbar where you can accept, decline changes or add comments. Is that the case?
Third
You say the software is in French, are you a Frenchman? Then I would suggest posting in the French newsgroup.
microsoft.public.fr.powerpoint

Hello

I've already asked this but there seems to be a misunderstanding so I'm starting again

I have some Powerpoint presentations that I have to translate and standardize

Some of them have a 'second window' at the bottom of each page. You can 'change' the size of this window and add comments

I thought that the 'add commentaries' button would create this second window but it doesn't (it adds little yellow cards to the presentation instead on the main page)

So I still need to know how to open the second window at the bottom of the page

I'd also like to know if there is a way of adding the same text to this second window at the bottom of the page on every single page without opening every single page to do it manually

Hope this now makes sense and sorry if my jargon is not quite right but my system is in French and I can only guess the terms on an English version

Regards

Dave Neve
