I need to add comments to a 2003 PowerPoint presentation but don't want them
visible when the client opens the presentation. Can comments be hidden when
PowerPoint opens?

Thanks.

Live and learn ... I'd have thought that having Markup hidden would be honored
either by the app or by the presentation. It's not. How odd.

If you don't need the other functionality of comments, you could add shapes,
type text into them then make them invisible. That's quite simple with the
Make Invisible button on our free PPTools Starter Set add-in.
