Adding and formatting notes
Notes view provides a convenient way to create reminders or add extra information
to the slides in the presentation. Notes are not displayed during a slide show, so with
the dual monitor support feature, you can use notes as a presentation cue. You can
also print the notes pages and use them as handouts.
Note
If you regularly give presentations in public using a projector, you may
want to consider installing the Sun Presenter Console, an extension that
allows you to display on your screen the slide notes, the next slide and
other useful information while only the slide is shown through the
projector. This extension can be downloaded from
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/presenter-screen
Adding notes to a slide
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 by clicking the tab in the main work area or select View
> Notes.
