Description

The OdfPresentationNotes class has an addText() API that allows text to easily be added to the speaker notes page of a slide but does not have a corresponding getText() API. I wanted to write a simple program that got all of the speaker notes from each slide in a slide deck. Every other API I need is there to make this task easy but the lack of a getText() API means that I have to get down to the XML Element level in order to get at the text in the speaker notes page for each slide. This makes the life of the programmer too complex. We need to make it really easy to do these kinds of things.
