Adding notes

A useful tool for preparing and giving a lecture are the notes that you can add to your presentations. There is a separate note page for each slide. You can make any annotations you want – or type in all the text you want to present. The notes pages can then be printed and used as a "script" for your presentation.

To edit the note page of a slide, choose the command View | group Views | Notes. As shown below, you will now see a page with a reduced view of the slide and a text box below it. In this text box, you can enter and edit your notes on the current slide.

To print the notes pages (including a reduced view of the slides), choose the command File | Print and select Notes under Type in the section Print content.

For information on all other options in the dialog box Print, see Printing a presentation.

Tip: If desired, you can choose a design for your note pages that is different from the current slide design. For more information, see Notes and handout master.
