When you decide to print PowerPoint slides, you can choose to print with or without Speaker Notes. Learn how to prints slides in PowerPoint.

If you wish to include useful information that should only be visible to you (the speaker) during your next PowerPoint presentation, here's how to do that.

To add notes to your PowerPoint, you'll need to have your presentation set to "Normal" view before accessing the "Notes" button for individual slides.

Presenting a slideshow is similar to giving a speech where you may want to use speaker notes. Like note cards, you can add notes to each slide in your presentation.

Using Presenter View in PowerPoint lets you view presentations with speaker notes on one computer, while the audience views the notes on a second monitor.

Search for the presentation to use with laptop speaker notes and double-click it. Scroll through the slide deck on the left side of the screen to get to the first slide to add a hidden note.
