Adding notes to a slide

Notes view provide a convenient way to create reminders or add extra information to the slides of the presentation. Notes are not displayed during a slide show, so with the dual monitor support feature available since OOo 2.1, you can use notes as a presentation cue. You can also print the notes pages and use them as handouts.

To add notes to a slide:

1. In the Slides pane, select the slide to which you want to add notes.
2. Switch to Notes view (click the tab in the main work area or select View > Notes from the menu bar). The main work area looks like the figure below.
3. Click in the text box showing “Click to add notes” and type or paste text or graphics as needed.
4. To add notes to another slide, select it in the Slides pane. The Notes view changes to show the selected slide.
5. When done entering notes, return to Normal view.
