Hi Claire,

This bug is described on the Microsoft support site at:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/powerpoint/serviceware/ppt97/e9kmcyaf6.asp

In brief, editing text on a notes page and then saving while in that view
deletes notes.

The solution is to turn off the 'Allow Fast Save' option. (Select Options
from
the Tools menu and click the Save tab.)

If you don't do that, you have to remember always to switch to another view
(other than Notes Page view) before saving, or to view notes on another page
in
Notes Page view before saving.

Scott
