Microsoft PowerPoint - Narration weirdness


Expert: Jeffson - 5/15/2009

Question
Hi Jeffson:

Thanks for making yourself available for questions. I'm trying to record narration to a PPT. It was working fine before and now the narration I wrote in the "Notes" field (below the slide) will not advance with the slide itself. It's stuck. Slides will advance, written narration won't. HELP!  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Brian,

To be honest, this is the limitation of PowerPoint itself when record narration. "Notes" field (below the slide) will not advance with the slide itself.

Luckily, some third party software could do this work perfectly. I once used Articulate Presenter (http://www.articulate.com), it has the feature as you wish. It is an add-in of PowerPoint, when you click the record narration button, a recording window would appear. In this small window, you could click the option of "show notes". Then when recording, the notes would advance with your narration. Some similar add-in like ppt2flash (http://snipurl.com/noyev) also good for your use.

Have a try and good luck.


Hope it would be helpful. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me.

Many regards.
