Operation Manual

• Compare slides with your outline (if you have prepared one in advance). If you notice from
your outline that another slide is needed, you can create it directly in the Outline view or
you can return to the Normal view to create it.
Notes view
Use the Notes view (Figure 134) to add notes to a slide. These notes are for your information and
are not seen by the audience when the presentation is shown.
Figure 134: Notes view
1) Click the Notes tab in the Workspace.
2) Select the slide to which you want to add notes: click the slide in the Slides pane, or
double-click the slide name in the Navigator.
3) In the text box below the slide, click on the words Click to add notes and begin typing.
You can resize the Notes text box using the colored resizing handles which appear when you click
on the edge of the box. You can also move the box by placing the pointer on the border, then
clicking and dragging. To make changes in the text style, click on the Styles and Formatting icon
on the Sidebar.
Handout view
Handout view is for setting up the layout of your slide for a printed handout. Click the Handout tab
in the workspace and the Layouts section opens on the Sidebar (Figure 135). Here you can
choose to print 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9 slides per page. If the Layouts section does not open, then click
on the Properties icon at the side of the Sidebar.
Use this view also to customize the information printed on the handout. Refer to the Impress Guide
Chapter 10 Printing, E-mailing, Exporting, and Saving Slide Shows for instructions on printing
slides, handouts, and notes.
Go to Insert > Page Number, Insert > Date and Time, or Insert > Header and Footer on the
Menu bar and the Header and Footer dialog opens. Click on the Notes and Handouts tab (Figure
136) and select the elements you want to appear on each handout page and their contents. More
details on how to use this dialog are provided in the Impress Guide.
