More than one or multiple notes pages (not using hide slide)

Hello,

Most of what's built into PowerPoint 2007 I don't need, but what I do REALLY
REALLY need is the ability to have multiple pages of notes for each slide.
Is there any way to get this without the ridiculous "hide slide" trick?

In short, I want to start writing notes for a slide and have the notes
continue for 2-10 pages, if necessary, without having to worry about font
size formatting, page breaks, cutting-and-pasting from one slide to the
next, etc. (I can't be the only person who has ever requested this! -- Hey
Microsoft! Instead of adding more obscure exotic junk I don't need in
PowerPoint 2010, why don't you add multiple notes pages!!!!)

If this is possible already and I'm just being stupid, I will happily admit
my stupidity... Or if I can do this in Word and then export all the slides
from Word into a slide deck --with or without notes-- that would be fine too
(but syncing between Word and PowerPoint has never worked reliably for me).

Many thanks in advance,
Beth

Actually, this is a feature in PPT 2010.

I believe 2010 beta does do multiple notes pages.
but I could be wrong

You might like to try our AddIn (free) supertypist that basically neatly
types out your notes in Word for you. No slide images - just the notes

http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/PPT2WORD.html
scroll down a bit for the AddIn

LOL! My apologies to Microsoft, I was cursing them again as I wrote my
question.... :-)

I haven't been able to find a URL reference about this yet, but I suppose I
can just wait for the final release (or get the beta).

Thanks!

Heh, I've done exactly the same thing more than once, believe me!

You know, that's one of those features that will never make it into the
marketing materials...but which is important to people like us.

I made a list of new features in PPT 2010. It's he
http://www.echosvoice.com/2010.htm (well, click the link on that page). I'm
sure I've missed a few things here and there, but I can always add them as
I run into them. But I think it's as official as you're gonna find for some
of them!
