I guess this is impossible. Unless someone has had a brainwave since my original post.
I've had no reply to this on the Beamer forum or on the comp.text.tex group. I was hoping that someone might have known of a simple Latex switch to switch off the graphics and the article only text, but obviously not. I'm not sure how I get round this, certainly don't want to go back to PowerPoint, but nor do I fancy manually creating and keeping an outline in sync with the main presentation and article. Thanks, Graham
