How to Put a Comment in a Specific Spot in Powerpoint 2013

The steps in this article are going to describe how to create a comment for a slide in Powerpoint 2013, then how to move that comment to a specific location on the slide. By default Powerpoint will place the comment at the top-left corner of the slide, which may not be very helpful if your comment might be confusing when not attached to the element that it concerns. Following the steps below to move the comment will allow your comment to be easier to understand. Step 1: Open the slideshow in Powerpoint.   Step 2: Click on the slide to which you wish to add the comment.

    Step 3: Click Review at the top of the window.

    Step 4: Click the New Comment button, which is going to launch the Comments column at the right side of the screen.

    Step 5: Type the contents of your comment, then press Enter when you have finished the comment. You should now see a speech bubble at the top-left of the slide.

    Step 6: Click on the speech bubble and drag it to the area on the slide where you want it to appear.
