There are many ways to do this:
1) Add a comment.
2) Add a text box outside of the slide borders
3) Add a text box on the slide, but add a trigger to make itself appear
4) Add text to the notes page
Mostly (99% of the time) I use the notes pane.

Thanks for your prompt reply Bill. A text box outside the slide borders will
suit me perfectly.
