A unique advantage of using the Comments tool in PowerPoint 2007 is the ability to save on materials by reducing the need to print out copious amounts of paper proofs. Comments are commands which can be added to your PowerPoint presentation rather than manual mark up on paper proofs. If you need a colleague to review your presentation and have others endorse comments and amendments, you don’t have to print out multiple copies of the file to circulate round the houses.

A comment is a note that you can attach to a letter or word on a slide or to an entire slide. You can use comments when you want people to review and provide feedback on a presentation that you have created or when colleagues ask for your feedback on a presentation they have created.

In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you can add, edit and delete comments. To read comments that reviewers have added to your presentation, on the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Show Markup. You can use the Previous and Next buttons to move between comments. To see all comments, you can Move between review comments. The command to add, change or delete a comment in a presentation is also housed in the Review tab, in the Comments group.

You can add more than one comment to text, an object or a slide in a presentation. Presentation reviewers can edit comments added by other reviewers – this changes the colour of the review comment thumbnail and initials to those of the current reviewer. Presentation reviewers can also delete comments added by other reviewers and this also changes the colour of the review comment thumbnail and changes the initials to those of the current reviewer.

If you use a Tablet PC, you can review and comment on a Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation by using the pen and ink tools in PowerPoint. Use this system to comment on and mark up slide content by using a ballpoint pen, highlighter or felt tip pen. You can erase any changes that you make and you can also change the colour and weight of a line or text that you add while marking up the content.

The Send for Review command is not available in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. In earlier versions of PowerPoint, by using the Send for Review command with Microsoft Office Outlook or another e-mail program, you could request feedback about a draft of your presentation from reviewers, such as your colleagues and partners.

However, the easiest way to send your Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation to anyone who needs to approve or amend your work is simply to attach your presentation to an e-mail message. Reviewers can comment on your presentation by using the Comments features and then attach the marked-up presentation to an e-mail message to you. By using the Comments features in Office PowerPoint 2007, you or your reviewers can also show or hide revisions, add or amend comments.

Just one word of warning if you use PowerPoint 2003 or an earlier version: when your presentation is reviewed by anyone using Office PowerPoint 2007, they will be able to view and add comments to your presentation, but you will not be able to merge their comments into your presentation.

Another benefit of using Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 is having the flexibility to add comments to your live presentation. This is particularly useful when you need to circle, underline, draw arrows, or make other marks on your slides to emphasise a point or highlight figures during a live presentation.

It’s easy to write on the slides during your slide show. While using the Slide Show view, right-click the slide that you want to write on, point to Pointer Options and then click a pen or highlighter option. Here you will see an array of tools including Ballpoint pen, Felt pen and arrow options. Simply hold down the left mouse button and drag to write or draw on your slides.

Adding and reviewing comments is just one of the many features of PowerPoint 2007 covered on a professional training course. Isn’t it time you found out how to reduce your carbon footprint?

Many people would be annoyed by poor PowerPoint presentation. Most of the slide presentations that you’ve seen are extremely dull and you would get out the room before the presenter finishes his final slide presentation. It could be torturing because of the total boredom of the atmosphere. Imagine that someone is doing a stand-up comedy in the meeting room. You would be expecting smiles on the crowd and sounds of laughter over the room. Has this ever happen to you?

Certainly, it would require some skills on how to make your audience smile to give you a round of applause to your spectacular performance. It is important to gain good rapport from your audience if you can make them feel comfortable in the meeting room. There are few tips on how to put a smile on your audience’s face:

· Your presentable looks – this doesn’t mean undergoing an extreme makeover. It actually means that you have to dress nicely and be comfortable with it. Don’t overdressed yourself (or putting too much make ups) because most audience is not expecting a clown in the meeting room. Please take note that being funny on stage doesn’t mean you have to be a clown but be a comedian!

· If you can’t think of a joke, then add-in some sarcasm – seriously, sarcasm on your presentation can be created by simply doing the opposites or something “rebellious” like “If the earth is flat, then the author of the book – The World Is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman would be writing a book entitled – The World is Round”. Make sure you don’t elaborate much about the sarcasm you’ve made. Remember, a joke doesn’t need much explanation to make people laugh. If people don’t get the joke – just proceed with the other one. So, practice makes perfect – you’ll be able to learn to create more jokes related to the theme of the presentation.

· Use “copycat” jokes – Every movie needs a screenplay and you can actually plan your storytelling or jokes when you are engaging with your audience. If you’ve known or heard some jokes from a movie or a show, you can jot it down and then modify it before you include it in your presentation. Telling jokes is much appropriate when you’re presenting a product review in front of your clients especially when you’re comparing your product with competitor’s product. You can add some sarcasm when you are commenting on your competitor’s product.

· Master your facial expressions – it’s like going to an acting class, some certain facial expressions can be shown when you’re telling something hilarious to your audience. For instance, even a blink of an eye which implies certainty or approval when

These are the basic tips on how to make people feel comfortable while you’re presenting on stage. Now, it’s time to present your heart out to make your audience smile and burst into laughter.
