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.
