Content: The Notes Pane provides space to add speaker's notes that can be so helpful to the presenter while presenting - you can also write any sort of information about the presentation or individual slide. By default, the Notes Pane may be completely empty -- you may also see some boilerplate text such as "Click to add notes", as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Notes Pane in PowerPoint 2013
To add your notes in this area, you typically just insert your cursor on the boilerplate text and start typing -- we explain this in more detail within the next section. What's important to realize is that each slide in your presentation has its own notes. When you navigate to another slide, you will have to add more notes relevant to the active slide. Back
Adding Notes
The Notes Pane can be seen in both Normal and Notes Page views. It also shows up in Presenter View. Follow these steps to enter text in the Notes Pane in Normal View: Create a new presentation, or open an existing presentation -- and select the slide for which you want to add some notes, as shown in Figure 2.
