Sub AddComment()
    Dim sldNew As Slide
    Dim cmtNew As Comment

    Set sldNew = ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=1, _
        Layout:=ppLayoutBlank)
    Set cmtNew = sldNew.Comments.Add(Left:=12, Top:=12, _
        Author:="Jeff Smith", AuthorInitials:="JS", _
        Text:="You might consider reviewing the new specs " & _
        "for more up-to-date information.")
End Sub
