[QUESTION] Dumb question about PowerPoint notes

[Ned Bedinger]

Hi Rob--

You're looking for the Notes view--the layout is preset with a reduced 
slide at the top of the portrait-oriented page, and a lined area below. 
You work on it in Powerpoint, but I don't think you can project it like 
a slide.

Free topics included in this response: OpenOffice has a Powerpoint-alike 
slide presentation application too. It handled pre-Office 2007 ppt 
slides well enough, especially if you want two separate instances of 
slide shows running on one PC with dual monitors of better. The latest 
Powerpoint seems bound to re-use an existing Powerpoint instance if you 
try to launch it again. Don't know, maybe it always did that. It is too 
confining if comparing slideshows, for example.
