            Bug ID: 132337
           Summary: Export Notes only feature desired
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dcollins at superdan.net

Description:
Some of us have various Notes written in our Impress presentations, but no way
to view them live while giving the presentation. For example: (1) We may have
only a single monitor available, perhaps on a laptop. (2) At the college where
I teach, a single splitter cord was used to connect every room's desktop &
projector, so the systems do not recognize two monitors. 

It would be enormously productive in these situations to carry a paper script
with just the Notes available. Note that I am NOT talking about existing NOTES
SLIDE PAGES, which would be excessive. I AM talking about about JUST NOTES
themselves, in a writer document (say, with titles from the slides as labels to
keep one's place). 

I've seen numerous others searching online for this same facility, with very
complicated workarounds proposed. Examples:
- https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=97562 (suggested:
manually copy-paste all Notes text to a separate file, one slide at a time).
- https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg38932.html (suggested:
print presentation to a PDF, convert PDF to text, manually cut out all the
non-Notes text).

So: It would save many of us a great deal of time and effort, currently
manually copying Notes out by hand as a regular process, if a new feature
allowed us to export just the Notes (not slides) to a writer document.
