Content: Creating notes
PowerPoint offers a couple of methods for creating notes for a slide, but we'll take the most flexible approach: Display the slide in Slide view, or select it in Slide Sorter view. Choose Notes Page from the View menu, or click the Notes Page View button in the horizontal scrollbar. PowerPoint will switch to Notes Page view, displaying an image of the slide and a text box for notes. In Notes Page view, PowerPoint displays the current slide and a text box for the notes. Click in the text box, and type a sample note. You'll probably want to choose a higher zoom percentage from the Zoom drop-down list for a better view of what you're typing. To show that notes text works just like any other slide text, make a couple of editing changes, and then reformat your notes by highlighting the text and selecting a different font and point size. To demonstrate that you can resize the slide image and text box, click a handle and drag. ( Hold down [Shift] and drag a corner handle if you want to resize proportionally.)
