Hello
I've just shared a powerpoint with colleagues for them to upload onto a computer when I'm doing a talk in two days-but it seems that only the slides themselves are sent and I can't access the notes page.
How can I share the powerpoint and enable the notes pages to be read by me when I've giving the talk?
Thanks
Madge

Hi Madge,
This article might help:
It states:
"Currently you must use a desktop version of PowerPoint to see speaker notes while you're presenting."
If, instead you are wanting to see the speaker notes at all, when looking at the powerpoint in Dropbox, I would also love to know how to do this.
Hi Lusil,
The notes pages in Powerpoint are also known as "presenter notes" or "speaker notes". They enable text to be attached to the slides. This text is not visible on the slide, but can be seen by the presenter when presenting, or can accompany a printout of the slides when creating a pdf.
If Dropbox is capable of showing speaker notes, in any way, for Powerpoint slides, can you please let the community know how that is done?
If Dropbox is not capable of showing speaker notes, please admit that clearly in your response.
Hey @_QSD, you can sync the notes throughout your account, and you should be able to preview and present them within the PowerPoint app itself.
I hope this helps clarify matters!

Thanks, this works.
I don't know if Powerpoint for Web via Dropbox is new, but the last time I tried to view notes directly on the web version of Powerpoint in Office 360, Notes weren't available.
Thanks very much for letting me know this. It makes a big difference in my workflow.
