Tip Of The Day: Turn Your Mouse Into A Laser Pointer During Presentat

[Spartan]

In PowerPoint, when you are in Slide Show mode or in Reading view, you can turn your mouse into a laser pointer to draw your audience’s attention to something on a slide.  I found this out during a presentation the other day and then looked it up at Microsoft.com.

 

Simply start your PowerPoint presentation in full-screen (presentation) mode and press and hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard, then click and hold the left mouse button, and point to the content on the slide that you want to draw attention to.

 

=================================================================================

 

Turn your mouse into a laser pointer

In Slide Show view or in Reading view, you can turn your mouse into a laser pointer to draw your audience’s attention to something on a slide.

 Note    For more information about views, see When and how to use views in PowerPoint 2010.

1. Do one of the following:

• To use the laser pointer in Slide Show view, on the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click either From Beginning or From Current Slide to start your slide show.
• To use the laser pointer in Reading view, on the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click Reading View.

2. Press and hold CTRL, click the left mouse button, and point to the contents on the slide that you want to draw attention to.

 Note    If you want your audience to see the laser pointer, but not your mouse pointer, be sure to press and hold CTRL before you move your mouse to keep the mouse pointer hidden.

3. To change the color of the laser pointer, do the following:
   1. On the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Set Up Slide Show.
   2. In the Set Up Show dialog box, under Show Options, select the color that you want from the Laser pointer color list, and then click OK.

 

 

Record your laser mouse pointer movements

To record your laser pointer movements to enhance a Web-based or self-running slide show, do the following:

 Note    For more information about recording and timing your slide shows, see Record and add narration and timings to a slide show.

1. On the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, point to the arrow next to Record Slide Show.
2. Click either Start Recording from Beginning or Start Recording from Current Slide, depending upon where you want to start recording your slide show.
3. In the Record Slide Show dialog box, select the Narrations and laser pointer check box, and if you also want to record how long each slide or animation should be shown, select the Slide and animation timings check box.
4. Click Start Recording.

 Tip   To pause the narration, in the Recording shortcut menu (shortcut menu: A menu that shows a list of commands relevant to a particular item. To display a shortcut menu, right-click an item or press SHIFT+F10.), click Pause. And to resume your narration, click Resume Recording.

5. Press and hold CTRL, click the left mouse button, and point to the contents on the slide that you want to draw attention to.
6. To move to the next slide, release CTRL, and then click the left mouse button.
7. To end your slide show recording, right click the slide, and then click End Show.
8. The recorded slide show timings are automatically saved and the slide show appears in Slide Sorter view with timings beneath each slide. To view the pointer movements and timings you just recorded, on the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click either From Beginning or From Current Slide.
9. To re-do your pointer movements or slide timings, simply repeat these steps.
