You can create notes pages (notes pages: Printed pages that display author notes beneath the slide that the notes accompany.) as notes to yourself while you give your presentation, or you can print them and hand them out to your audience.

Create notes pages

Use the notes pane (notes pane: The pane in normal view in which you type notes that you want to accompany a slide. You print these notes as notes pages or have them display when you save a presentation as a Web page.) in Normal view to write notes about your slides.

You can type and format your notes as you work in Normal view, but to see how your notes pages will print and to see the full effect of any text formatting, such as font colors, switch to Notes Page view. You can also check and change the headers and footers of your notes in Notes Page view.

Each notes page shows a slide thumbnail, along with the notes that go with that slide. In Notes Page view, you can embellish your notes with charts, pictures, tables, or other illustrations.

Notes pages include your notes and each slide in the presentation.

Each slide prints on its own notes page.

Your notes accompany the slide.

You can add data, such as charts or pictures, to your notes pages.

Pictures and objects (object: A table, chart, graphic, equation, or other form of information. Objects created in one application, for example spreadsheets, and linked or embedded in another application are OLE objects.) that you add in Notes Page view appear on your printed notes page, but not on your screen in Normal view. If you save your presentation as a Web page, pictures and objects do not appear when you display your presentation in the Web browser, although your notes do.

The changes, additions, and deletions that you make on a notes page apply only to that notes page and to the note text in Normal view.

If you want to enlarge, reposition, or format the slide image area or notes area, make your changes in Notes Page view.

You can't draw or place pictures in the notes pane in Normal view. Switch to Notes Page view and draw or add the picture there.

Create more space for your notes

A default notes page consists of a slide thumbnail on the top half of the page and an equally sized section for notes on the lower half of the page.

If half of a page isn't enough space for your notes, do one of the following to add more room for your notes:

To add more space on a single notes page, do the following:
1. In Normal view, in the pane that contains the Outline and Slides tabs, on the Slides tab, click the slide to which you want to add more space for notes.
2. On the View menu, in the Presentation Views group, click Notes Page.
3. Do one of the following:
  - To delete the slide thumbnail, on the notes page, click the slide, and then press Delete.
  - To decrease the size of the slide thumbnail on the notes page, drag a sizing handle on the slide thumbnail.
4. On the top border of the notes placeholder, drag the sizing handle to enlarge the notes placeholder to as much of the page as you need.

If you need more than one page for your notes, do the following:
1. In Normal view, in the pane that contains the Outline and Slides tabs, on the Slides tab, click the space after the slide that you want to add more notes to.
2. On the Home tab, in the Slides group, click New Slide, and then click Custom Layout.
3. In Normal view, in the pane that contains the Outline and Slides tabs, on the Slides tab, right-click the slide that you just added, and then click Hide Slide.
  Notes
  - In the Slides tab, the hidden slide icon appears with the slide number inside, next to the slide thumbnail that you hid.
  - Hidden slides do not appear in your presentation unless you unhide them by right-clicking the slide thumbnail again, and then clicking Hide Slide again.
4. On the View menu, in the Presentation Views group, click Notes Page.
5. On the notes page, click the slide, and then press Delete.
6. Drag the sizing handle on the top border of the notes placeholder to encompass the whole page.
  Note After you have filled up the notes for your visible slides, you will need to open your hidden slides in Notes Page view and resume typing your notes.
7. To add more hidden slides to act as additional notes pages, repeat steps 1 through 6.

Add art or formatting to all notes pages

To add art, such as a shape or picture or to format all of the notes pages in your presentation, change the Notes master (master: A slide view or page on which you define formatting for all slides or pages in your presentation. Each presentation has a master for each key component: slides, title slides, speaker's notes, and audience handouts.). For example, to put a company logo or other piece of art on all of your notes pages, add the art to the Notes Master. Or, if you want to change the font style for all notes, change the style on the Notes Master. You can change the look and position of the slide area, notes area, headers, footers, page numbers, and date.

Display notes pages on a Web page

If you save your presentation as a Web page, your notes are automatically displayed unless you choose to hide them. The slide titles become a table of contents in the presentation, and your slide notes appear beneath each slide. Your notes can fill the role of the speaker, giving your audience the background and details that a speaker would provide during a live presentation.

If you don't want your notes to be displayed on the Web page, you can turn them off before you save the file as a Web page.

Print notes pages with slide thumbnails

You can print your notes pages with a slide thumbnail to hand out to your audience or to help you prepare for your presentation.

Note You can print only one slide thumbnail with notes per page when printing Notes Pages.

Open the presentation for which you want to print notes pages with slide thumbnails.
Click the Microsoft Office Button, click the arrow next to Print, and then click Print Preview.
In the Page Setup group, click the arrow under the Print What box, and then click Notes Pages.
To specify the page orientation, click the arrow under Orientation, and then click Portrait or Landscape.
To set headers and footers, click Options, and then click Header and Footer.
Click Print.
Note If you want to print your notes and slide thumbnails in color, select a color printer. Click the Microsoft Office Button, click the arrow next to Print, and then click Print Preview. Under Print, click Options, point to Color/Grayscale, and then click Color.

Print notes pages without slide thumbnails

Open the presentation for which you want to print notes pages without slide thumbnails.
Open up each slide in Notes Page view.
Delete the slide thumbnail from each of the notes pages.
Click the Microsoft Office Button, click the arrow next to Print, and then click Print Preview.
In the Page Setup group, click the arrow under the Print What box, and then click Notes Pages.
To specify the page orientation, click the arrow under Orientation, and then click Portrait or Landscape.
To set headers and footers, click Options, and then click Header and Footer.
Click Print
