The notes should go also, when you use the Send to Word option You might try what is here to see if it clears the problem. http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00667.htm

 Hi Michael,
 Thankyou for offering, I'll have to check if that will be ok - I think the
 slide is confidential. However I just thought to do a test & it seems to be
 something to do with the accompanying Notes section, not the slides
 themselves, as I was just able to export all the slides, if I chose slides
 only as an option.
 Any ideas what it could be?

 many thanks for your help
 Maxine
