Actually, this sounds like the "presentation notes" function of
PP. If your training lends itself to simply embellishing the slides
with added notes, then PP could be used to produce a sort of a "manual."
However, for something 500 pages long, I should think it would get very
cumbersome. And just think of the saddle sores you'd get from sitting
through a presentation that long! ;-)
