PowerPoint Notes

Info-things on PowerPoint usage including tips, techniques and tutorials.

I'm looking for a way to output my PowerPoint notes alone, or a presentation without the metafile overhead. I need the slides plus the notes - or even a way to get the notes without anything else.

You'll need to have Microsoft Word installed on your system in addition to Microsoft PowerPoint for this trick to work:

  1. Open your presentation and choose File Send to Microsoft (Office) Word.

  2. Select the Notes next to slides option, and click OK.

  3. Microsoft Word creates a table with slide thumbnails and notes. Delete the unnecessary column in the resulting Word table that includes the thumbnails - to do that, select the entire column, right-click and choose Delete Columns.

  4. Choose Table Convert Table to Text... Choose your text separator (or choose a custom separator).

I'm looking for a way to show a power point presentation with the notes to the right of the screen - so the viewer would see the ppt slide and the notes at the same time. How do I do this?

And I'm trying to do the reverse of what the original post said: I want to IMPORT the contents of a Word file into the notes pane of an (existing) PPT presentation.

I have (let's say) a presentation consisting of 20 slides. I also have a Word document consisting of 20 paragraphs (formatted as a list, but I could easily change it, e.g. to a table). Is there some easy way to get the text from the Word document into the Notes of the presentation without having to do twenty separate copy+paste operations?

Featured Story

Adobe Captivate's Edit View

In an earlier post last week, I discussed Adobe Captivate's views and compared them to PowerPoint's deafult views. I also explained about the Storyboard View. In this post, I'll look at Captivate's Edit view, which in many ways is similar to PowerPoint's Normal view. If you are not already in Edit view within Captivate, choose the View drop-down in the toolbar, and select Edit View.
