00:00 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Presentation Notes in LibreOffice Impress. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn about Notes and how to print them. |
00:12 | Notes are used for two purposes: |
00:14 | As additional material or references, on each slide, for the audience. |
00:20 | To help the presenter with reference notes when presenting the slides to the audience. |
00:27 | Open the presentation "Sample-Impress.odp". |
00:33 | From the Slides pane, on the left, choose the slide titled Overview. |
00:38 | Change the text to: |
00:40 | "To achieve 30% shift to OpenSource software within 1 year". |
00:46 | "To achieve 95% shift to OpenSource Software within 5 years". |
00:53 | Let’s add some notes to the page so that when it is printed, the reader will have some reference material. |

01:19 | In this text-box, type: |
01:22 | "Management would like to explore cost saving from shifting to Open Source Software". |
01:28 | "Open source software has now become a viable option to proprietary software". |
01:35 | "Open source software will free the company from arbitrary software updates of proprietary software". <Pause> |
