Creating pages with slides and descriptive text

If you want to create printable pages that have notes or descriptive text associated with each slide, PowerPoint has a feature designed to do this called Notes Pages or Speaker’s Notes (depending on the version you’re using). To view the Notes page for any slide, go to the View menu and select Notes Pages. You will see an image of your slide there, and a placeholder for adding your script, notes, or any other text you wish to add. You can even cut-and-paste text from Word. To print these pages, bring up the Print dialog, and at the bottom of the dialog where it says “Print What?” select Notes Pages.
