I am using MS Powerpoint 2007.
Is it possible to print the list of comments only (exclude the slides,
hand-outs, notes pages, or outline view)?

Jeia,
That simply is not possible in PowerPoint. Maybe someone could write an
add-in to do what you want. Who knows maybe someone has already done so, in
that case, he/she will jump in, I'm sure.

Using PowerPoint as it comes out of the box, no.

This page has a little macro that will export the comments and open the
resulting file in Notepad; from there you can do pretty much what you like with
them.

I'm new to VBA-- so excuse me-- but this did not work for me. The output I
received was a text file with the slide #'s, but no text (although most
slides had copious amounts of text in the Notes Pane).

Suggestions?

You asked for a way to print comments and exclude notes pages.
The linked page does that.

If you want notes page text, try this instead:

Geeks, like the computers they drive, can be SO literal. ;-)
