# Creating slide notes

You can create and save notes about individual slides. These notes are not seen by users (those who are viewing your movie), but are an organizational tool for Captivate authors.

The notes can be seen in two places: in the Record Audio dialog box (within Scripts) and if you publish to Handouts (select the Slide notes option). Slide notes are useful in the Record Audio dialog box because you can write voice-over text in the notes and then read the text directly from the dialog as you record. If you export your movie to Word to create handouts, you have the option to include slide notes in the document. This can be useful if you create a Word document version of your movie so that others can review it and you want to provide your reviewers with some extra information about certain slides.

After you create notes for a slide, the Notes button on the Slide Properties dialog box appears in bold text to indicate that the slide contains added notes.

#### To create a slide note:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. Right-click on the slide to which you want to add a note and select Properties.

3. Click Notes.

The Slide Notes dialog box appears.

4. Type in any notes for the slide.

5. When you are finished, click OK.
