OpenOffice: Insert invisible notes

So that you don't lose the thread of your presentation, you can insert invisible notes into your OpenOffice presentation. In addition, your hands are not tied to index cards and you can keep the lecture free.

Hide notes in an OpenOffice presentation

1. Open your presentation with OpenOffice Impress.
2. Select the "View" tab.
3. Click on the "Notes" sub-item in the context menu.
4. You will see a new field under your presentation. You can insert your notes here.
5. As soon as you start the presentation, the notes are hidden and are therefore hidden from your viewers.
6. In order to see your notes during the lecture, you need the "Presenter Console" extension.

These instructions refer to OpenOffice Impress 4.1.0. In another practical tip, we will show you how you can integrate a video into OpenOffice Impress.
