Understanding Presentations – Presenter Notes

Add presenter notes to slides.

Notes provide a convenient way to create reminders or add extra information to slides in a presentation. Notes are not displayed during a slide show. However, using dual displays, you can display any notes on the second display as a presentation cue. You can also print the notes and use them as handouts.
