If your notes pages on slides are getting corrupted you can use this process to fix them.
Fix the Notes Master page size
-
Go to File > Print > Printer Properties.
Note: Depending upon your print driver you might have to click Advanced to see the paper size setting.
-
Change the paper size to anything other than Letter, then select OK.
-
Repeat step 1 and change paper size back to Letter, then select OK.
-
Go to View > Notes Master.
It will probably look broken. -
Right click on an empty spot on the Notes Master to bring up the context menu, then select Notes Master Layout…
-
In the dialog, uncheck everything, then select OK.
You should see an empty Notes Master. -
Repeat step 5 and check everything in the dialog, then select OK.
You should see the default Notes Master with the correct layout. -
Close Master View.
Your Master Notes page should be fixed, but the individual notes pages on your slides still might not have the right layout.
Fix notes page layout
Important: You'll need to repeat the following process on EACH notes page that doesn't have the right layout.
-
Go to View > Notes Page.
-
Right click on an empty spot on the notes page to bring up the context menu and select Notes Layout…
-
Select Reapply master (leave Slide image and Body checked).
Caution: If you uncheck Body and select OK any notes you had on that slide will be lost. You can use Undo (CTRL+Z) to get them back; you may have to Undo a couple of times. This won't affect the layout fix.
-
Select OK.
The notes page should be back to normal now.
