Hi Sagar,

Thanks for your query in our forum.

PowerPoint notes is the place to store talking points that you want to mention when you give your presentation. This part is visible to the audience when you are in Presentation mode.

Hi, Sagar—

To Ivy's point, the text placeholder on Notes Pages automatically captures any speaker notes you may have on each slide. They also show an image of the slide.

But to add to John's reply, there's a TON you can do with the Notes pages that add a lot of functionality to your presentations! The Notes Master allows you to change the size and position of the slide image and the speaker notes text. In addition, each Note Page is editable. You can add stuff like tables, links, graphics, more text, etc., to a Notes Page.

Here's the part about functionality: you can export Notes Pages as a PDF document or print them as handouts. These handouts are very useful, since they can contain a level of detail that would be distracting for a slide. Plus, if you include active links on the Notes Pages, they are clickable in the PDF file you export.

When you edit the speaker notes on a Notes Page, you'll also be editing the actual speaker notes that appear in the Presenter View. So if your speaker notes tend to have a lot of information that's not something you want people to see, like stage directions, click prompts, etc., just drag the text box for that particular Notes Page off of the slide and onto the pasteboard. The speaker notes will be preserved and you can add a new text box that contains the text you want your audience to see.

Finally, not many people seem to use the Notes Pages to create handouts. So if you start doing it, people are going to think you're a PowerPoint genius!

It's possible to add a table to the Notes Page, but it sits outside the placeholder and the contents will not display in the Notes area of Normal (Edit) view, nor in Presenter View.

Hi Sagar,

Hi John,

You're right. Thanks for your reply. We can insert table in Notes Page or in the Notes Master, bu the result will be like what you said. 

Per Sagar's description, I think Notes section is the Notes part when you play the slides show. 

Thanks,

Ivy
