102. Add Notes to a PresentationBEFORE YOU BEGIN 85 Print a Presentation SEE ALSO 103 Create Presentation Handouts Impress's Notes view enables you to create and edit notes for you or your presentation's speaker. When you display the notes, Impress shows the notes at the bottom of your slide while you work on your presentation. The Notes view shows the slide contents and, below it, a dialog box for your notes. Therefore, the speaker's notes contain the slides that the audience sees as well as notes the speaker wrote to go along with each slide. Your audience does not see the speaker's notes during the presentation. TIP Generally, the Notes view is best used for short reminders that you want to remember for each slide. Don't plan to write your entire presentation's text in the note area because you'll get bogged down in the details (see 105 About Giving Presentations ). The Notes view is designed to allow printing of the notes for the speaker. However, the speaker can also display the Notes Page view during a presentation to eliminate paper shuffling. If the speaker's computer has two video cards and two monitors , as most laptop setups used for presentations will be able to provide (the laptop's monitor and the overhead projector plugged into the laptop's output port), Impress can send the slides to one monitor and the speaker's slides and notes are available on the speaker's computer to follow the presentation. 102. Add Notes to a Presentation TIP If your notes text is not large enough to read easily, expand the viewing area by using the Zoom command from the View menu.
