Subtitles of the Movie (Apple iWork 08 / Create Dynamic Presentations / Use Notes)
Alright. Adding notes to a presentation can certainly be a huge benefit to the person giving the presentation. Sometimes they're used in conjunction with a handout that you give to your audience so they can, again, most often they can refer to those notes later on. You don't want them referring to your presentation itself, the slides of the presentation. If they have to read what's on the presentation, it's not a very good presentation. That's, if you want to hand them out something, hand them a document. But again, having said that, sometimes those presenter notes help to hand out to people, but again, mostly built to help you give the presentation to kind of steer you along with what you're going to say. So maybe your opening gambit, something witty, maybe you made some observation yesterday about the company that you're presenting to or something in the news and you just want to make sure it doesn't slip your mind in the moment. So what I recommend here to add notes to the presentation is that you use the view menu and you want to show your presenter notes. So that brings up a little space like this that you can adjust with this adjuster divider bar up here on the right-hand side as you can see and then all I have to do to start adding notes is just set the cursor and add a note. Something in the news that you saw. Alright. So that's all you have to do and it's really no big deal to add notes as you can see and if you want to toggle that off and on again, you hide the presenter notes and when you show the presenter notes, there they are once again. Now, even if you've hidden those presenter notes, when you rehearse your slideshow or when you give the slideshow, and you do that, by the way, under the view menu, depending upon how you set up the presenter screen, but certainly when you rehearse the slideshow, you see those notes. The audience doesn't see them, but you see them and again, that's the whole idea of adding notes. If you want the audience to see your notes, you print them out and the way that you print out your presenter notes is that you use the file menu and then you go to print and from the print dialog box here, under your presets, instead of copies and pages, that should be selected by default, you want to come down to Keynote. So once again, in the print dialog box, choose Keynote. That'll bring up a whole slew of options as you can see here and what your choice is is not the individual slides but instead the slides with the notes. You could also choose this one as well; handout. Slides with notes will give you one page per slide. This is probably better for handing them out to the audience. You could have your own paper notes, but this might be more helpful to you. For your audience, I want to do six slides per page and print out my slides and I'm going to add the notes of those slides as well. So if that helps you with your presentation and your situations, certainly you have those options for adding notes. To add them so that you can use them and you add them and then have the option of handing those out to the audience.
