Adding “Notes”

“Notes” can be useful while prsenting your presentation.
To add a note, click the “Notes” section below the Slide and start typing.

If you wish to adjust the size of the “Notes” section in order to have more space for your notes, move the mouse pointer over the edge.  When it changes into a double-headed arrow, click and drag it to the desired height.

A second way is to click on the “Notes Master” button under the “View” tab in the “Ribbon”.
This view is actually meant to be a preview of how the “Notes” pages will be printed, but we can also add notes.

To print the “Notes page”, click the “Office” button at the top left of the “Ribbon”.
Select “Print” from the drop-down menu.
And click the “Print” option.
In the dialog box that appears, select the “Notes Pages” at the bottom of the “Print” dialog box.

To have a preview, click the “Preview” button.

“Notes Master”

In the “Notes Master”, we control the layout of the “Notes pages”.
The formatting of the “Notes pages” is the same as formatting a “Handout Master”.
We find the “Notes Master” under the “View” tab in the “Ribbon”.
Click on the ” Notes Master” tab in the “Ribbon”.By default, a “Notes page” has the “Header”, “Date”, “Footer”, and “Page Number” fields, a field where the slide is shown and a field in which the notes are displayed.
We can also add, delete or move fields in the notes page.
The options in the “Ribbon” are similar to those in the “Ribbon” of the “Handout Master”, so I will not repeat all this.
