Slide Formatting & Layout

Adjust how slide panels are sized and positioned within the main content area.

Draggable Dividers

In any layout (Above, Below, Left, Right), the divider between the slide area and notes area and also between the Current and Next slide is draggable. Click and drag the divider to give more space to whichever area matters most for your production.

Slide Panel Sizing

The slide area automatically maintains the correct aspect ratio of the loaded presentation. If a presentation uses a non-standard aspect ratio, the slide panel adjusts to match as needed.

NextNote reads the presentation's actual aspect ratio from PowerPoint and displays slides at the correct proportions automatically. There is no manual aspect ratio setting required.

Current vs Next Slide

When both Current Slide and Next Slide are enabled in the layout popover, they share the slide area.

If there is no next slide (i.e. the presentation is on the last slide), the Next Slide panel shows a placeholder icon.

Notes Area

The notes area displays the speaker notes for the current slide. The font, size, and line spacing can be adjusted using the Styling → Notes panel. Changes apply immediately and are reflected in all open output windows.

Notes are word-wrapped to the width of the area. The same wrapping is used in the Speaker Notes output window, so what the operator sees matches exactly what is shown on the speaker's confidence monitor.
