Speaker Notes and Microsoft Word
One disadvantage to speaker notes is that they are not visual during the slide view presentation. The only way to have the slide visible with speaker notes using PowerPoint is to post this in web page format (not a possibility for most course management software programs). Thus, you may need to submit the final presentation including the speaker notes so all can review via MS Word. The disadvantage is that the presentation is now a word document and any unique transitions, animations, sound or movie files will not be available.
To send your presentatio to Microsoft Word so that the slide and respective speaker notes are incluldes do the following:
Click on "File", then "Save and Send" then "Create Handouts" as shown in Image One.

Next you will see several options (Image Two). Choose the default (notes next to slides). Then save the file in Word. You can also edit the text as well as the slide images in Word.
