Can you view speaker notes with a macro?

[Nikki]

Is there a way to set up an action button or macro that pulls up speaker
notes during the slide show?

Thanks...

Try the following:

MsgBox ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.NotesPage.Shapes(2) _
.TextFrame.TextRange.Text

It will bring up a MsgBox with the notes from the current slide. You can use
this (other than the MsgBox) to put the notes in a shape on the slide, or do
something else with the notes.

I think there is a non-VBA way to do this, but I don't know it off the top
of my head.
