Content: This means that you can place things here, such as instructions for each slide, without worrying about them being shown to your audience. The Notes Pane
The Notes Pane is the space beneath the Slide Area where you can type in the speaker notes for each slide. It’s designed as a fast way to add and edit your slides’ talking points. This text will be visible when you print Notes Pages and when you present with Presenter View. You can learn more about the Presenter View in PowerPoint in this article here. You can resize the Notes Pane by clicking on its edge and dragging it up or down (A). You can also minimize or reopen it by clicking on the Notes button in the Status Bar (B). Note: Not all text formatting properly displays in the Notes Pane, even though ti will show up when printing your speaker notes.
