Create Audience Handouts and Speaker Notes

Topic at a glance

After you put your presentation together in PowerPoint, you needn’t duplicate the effort in another application just to create supporting materials. Each slide in a presentation has a place called notes page view where you can type information to accompany your slides. The slides can even be turned into handouts automatically.

• Use handouts when you want to show only the content of the slides themselves, or when you want to squeeze more slides onto a page.

• Use notes pages when you want to include additional content beyond the slides themselves.
