Tom,

Yes agree with your comment on the notes area. In fact FS mentions this 
during their paid webinar on PowerPoint - the fact that the notes area is 
not accessible. It appears that you can read from it, and as you said best 
way to edit is to write notes in notepad and paste. The problem is that when 
in the notes pane, standard editing does not work, due to how MS is handling 
that area.

Hope FS can break that one open, but as you said it's been like that a long 
time and MS has never changed it.

Hi,
I found that editing slide title and subtitle text wasn't that difficult;
what you do is press enter on the title or subtitle placeholder and it
becomes editable.  Press escape when you're finished to return to the object
layer.
Slide notes, on the other hand can be a real pain in the butt. My
work-around was and still is to put my slide note together using notepad or
even Word, select all of it, alt+tab over to the slide note pane and paste
it in.  It's not efficient in the least but it works.  Freedom really needs
to address this issue, as it's been around for quite some time.
