They also state that the audience will not see these notes unless a handout of the slide show is printed and given to them. 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. Jean Yeah this is a pretty important feature if you ask me. It could be added to the Navigator that is shown during presentation if nothing else.  I cannot find an enhancement request for this which is shocking. The only issues I have found deal with PDF exports: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=17387 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=48813 Here is the link to my search if this helps you any.  http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/buglist.cgi?issue_type=ENHANCEMENT&issue_type=FEATURE&issue_status=UNCONFIRMED&issue_status=NEW&issue_status=STARTED&issue_status=REOPENED&issue_stat us=RESOLVED&issue_status=VERIFIED&issue_status=CLOSED&email1=&emailtype1=exact&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailtype2=exact&emailreporter2=1&issueidtype=include&issue_id=&changedin=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&short_desc=impress&short_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&issue_file_loc=&issue_file_loc_type=substring&status_whiteboard=&status_whiteboard_type=substring&keywords=&keywords_type=anytokens&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&Submit+query=Submit+query I think it is probably in there somewhere. Maybe the title of the enhancement or feature just doesn't have "notes" listed which it should.  I will keep looking as well to see if this has ever been submitted and if not one of us should submit this as a much needed feature.
