     All the literature I have seen so far describe how to insert notes

How does the presenter see these notes during a slide show? What 
purpose do these notes serve other than for handouts?
     I have even read the Star Office 7.0 Impress Users Guide. It has 
not information on this point. Is this a question that should be sent 
to the developers?

I vaguely recall a conversation (possibly on the [users] list) 
some time ago about this very problem, the fact that OOo has no 
mechanism allowing the presenter to see the notes onscreen during 
a slide show. I believe that an issue (enhancement request) has 
been raised on this, but I don't have the issue number.
