Making note cards

[TPotter]

Maybe I'm the only one who does this, but when I'm giving a presentation I
like having notes on 3x5 cards. It would be useful to print the notes I type
into the presentation in a format that it would be easy to cut into 3x5 cards
(or a similar size). It does not seem like the printing options for notes
faciliatates doing so. I thought that copying the slides into Word might
help, but there are two problems. First, the bullets are removed, and
second, the slide appears with the notes, and I don't need the slides.

Has anyone done this and how? Thanks.

Tom,
There are two way I can think of for you:
1. Go to PPTool, and check out Stephen's macro for exporting PPT Note
http://pptfaq.com/FAQ00481.htm (Contents © 1995-2007 Stephen Rindsberg)
Suggestion: Export the notes to text file then open text file in PPT (this
will make a seperate ppt slide of the note from the original file. Then print
this out as handouts (4 per page) and cut out each slide for your cards.
2. Is way to complicated, general gist manipulate the notes master to
landscape and remove slide image, print to PDF at custom paper size (3x5),
then print multiple page PDF slide... cut out cards etc etc.... try number
one first, quick and easy.

Hi Tom

I would advise you to hand write your notes - not because you can't do what
you want on a computer but because the physical act of writing creates new
pathways in the brain and helps us to remember. Honest.

Lucy,

That's not the answer I was expecting, but it is helpful. Thank you.
