------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jun 8 00:24:59 +0000 2008 ------- AMartin 6/7/08: This issue, as described, still exists in 3.0. When adding notes for a given slide, you're switching to an entirely new view with the notes in the main pane and the slides to the left in smaller format. This presents problems in a few facets: - depending on monitor and resolution, it is sometimes difficult to correctly view the data on the slide while in notes view - when using split screens, it's tough for the presenter to find a way to view the notes and what the user is seeing if they cannot directly see the screen as others are viewing - you are not able to edit or copy text from the slide while in notes view, making it difficult to copy particular data or info to the notes to add comments In MS PowerPoint 2000 and 2003, while there is also a separate "Notes" page, the split screen that is available in "Slide" view and "Outline" view is SO helpful when giving presentations in split screen or on projector and while preparing by adding notes. Microsoft even highlights use of the Split Screen notes in one of their tips and tricks pages, making the lack of such screen a bit more glaring in OOo. (http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/getworkdone/presentations.mspx) It would be very helpful to add a split-screen ability to add notes to the main Slides view in Impress - perhaps one that can be de-activated for users who don't wish to have that function. For many who make live presentations, this particular feature could be the difference between a willingness to use OOo and not for their work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
