If you're specifically looking for notes in a document (or images, tables, bookmarks, etc.) then you need to take a look at OOo's navigation features.

First there's the Navigator. Usually the button next to that for the Stylist, or "F5" to toggle it on and off by default. Ensure that the list box is showing (if you're only seeing a small dialogue, find and click the "List Box on/off" button in the dialogue). Now you should see a list entry for notes which you can expand to show the text of each note in the document. Double click an entry to jump to it in the document.

If you just want to step through each of the notes in the document, then try using the three buttons at the bottom of the vertical scrollbar. The middle button (usually with a round nodule on it) changes what type of item the other buttons will navigate to. So click the middle button and select the "Note" option. Now the other two buttons will step between the next and previous notes in the document.
