WHEN CREATING A POWER POINT PRESENTATION HOW DO I USE THE NOTES SECTION, OR
WHY WOULD I USE IT? DOES IT SHOW ON THE SLIDE SHOW?
 
Please don't type in all caps; it implies shouting, and I'm sure you don't
intend to shout at those who can help you.

Regarding notes, just type into the notes pane. Your speaker notes will show
up along with a slide thumbnail when you choose File | Print and choose
Notes Page in the "print what" section.

They will also show up if you use Slide Show | Set up Show | Use Presenter
View. You will need a 2nd monitor for this. Your slide thumbnails and
speaker notes will show on one monitor, the slide show on another.
 
In PowerPoint's normal view, the notes section is visiable below the slide.
If you are using PowerPoint for presentations, then you're typically
summarising the content. Instead of adding too much detail into your
presentation (making the text tiny or cluttered), you speak about any
additional context, detail or related information - which you include for
yourself in the notes. Then when you're conducting the presentation, print
a copy of the presentation with notes for yourself. You can then refer to
the notes for each slide, but not show them to the audience. You can print
with or without notes.
 
You can also use Presenter View which shows the notes (and a few other handy
bits and bobs) on the laptop screen and just the slides on the projector.
