Digitizing Your PDD

Using Notes Pages

By default you have a Notes Pane beneath the Slide pane in Normal View . You can type notes in this pane, but may want to add notes in a larger area, or see how the Notes Page will appear when printed.

To view the Notes Page , choose VIEW : Notes Page. Notes Pages show you a small view of the slide and give you room at the bottom to type notes. Notes are great tools to print and refer to as you are delivering an on-screen presentation.

In this view, the slide itself is usually displayed at about 40% in order to show the entire page on the screen. This does not provide a way for most of us to easily read the notes we are typing.

To increase the viewable size of the typing area so you can see what you are typing, click the drop-down box in the Zoom Tool and select the magnification you need to increase the percentage.

You can also use the VIEW : Master : Notes Master to set up master items on Notes Pages or to change the size of the slide and/or notes areas.
