Ordinary old apostrophe does the trick

Sub text()
' this line will not be executed
this line will be executed
End Sub

Anything after an apostrophe on a line is considered a comment.

For instance:

' This is a comment

A = B ' Comment starts here

I thought there was a key stroke to comment out selected code.

Ie. If I highlight rows 1-5, then press some keystroke. Rows 1-5 will
automatically have a ' infront of it.

I guess I might be wrong, but I could have sworn I saw a ex-coworker do
it.

There is a button in the Edit toolbar (which of course you can include in
your standard toolbar) that does just that
