Comments.Add method (PowerPoint)

  • Article

Returns a Comment object that represents a new comment added to a slide.

Important

This method is now hidden. It will continue to work in existing places but cannot be added to new places in code. For modern comments, this method can only attribute comments to the signed-in user, not anyone passed in through the “author” field. To attribute modern comments to other authors, please update your calls to the Add2. Add will continue to work as expected for legacy comments. For more infomation about modern comments, see Modern comments in PowerPoint.
