The notes page will be small, so you will have to go to the “View” menu again" rel="nofollow">in and select “Zoom” in" rel="nofollow">in order to make them bigger. Select the percentage of zoom that you want (the higher the percentage, the larger the page will become). Click in" rel="nofollow">inside the notes page and begin" rel="nofollow">in typin" rel="nofollow">ing your speaker notes. Contin" rel="nofollow">inue doin" rel="nofollow">ing this on each slide until your speaker notes are written.
