To use the on-screen pen, highlighter, or laser pointerWhile delivering a presentation, you can direct attention to specific content by using the on-screen pointer, or reinforce your message by drawing or highlighting specific text on slides. The pen color is determined by a setting in the Set Up Show dialog box, but you can easily change the pen color during the presentation. 1. Do any of the following: • In Slide Show view, on the navigation toolbar, click the Pen button, and then click Pen, Highlighter, or Laser Pointer. • To change the pointer to a pen, press Ctrl+P. • To change the pointer to an arrow, press Ctrl+A. • Right-click anywhere on the screen, click Pointer Options, and then click Pen, Highlighter, or Laser Pointer. 2. Use the tool to annotate the slide or draw attention to specific content. 3. Turn off the tool by changing the pointer to an arrow. Tip: When the pen, highlighter, or laser pointer tool is active in Slide Show view, clicking the mouse button does not advance the slide show to the next slide. You need to switch back to the regular pointer to use the mouse to advance the slide. |
