Command lines with PowerPoint viewer

[Guest]

Hi there,

I've been researching as much as possible, but totally drawn a blank.

I'm using the powerpoint viewer on lots of different PCs to view a show I
created. The problem is the cursor keeps disappearing (as designed) but I
want it to stay. I know how to do this in Powerpoint, but not how to force
the viewer to do this. I've looked through the knowledge base for command
lines, but can't can find any to help.

It's important as I use interactive whiteboards, so clicking on action
buttons has a different effect if there's no cursor.

So any advice on how to keep the cursor visible when viewing shows using the
viewer, then I'd be really grateful.

Many thanks,

Simon

Thanks Bill,

I'd already seen those FAQs and checked the knowledge base, and I can't fine
a switch listed that will force the arrow to remain visible.

Do you have any other thoughts? Tried to use the presentation on an
"interactive whiteboard" today and it was a complete disaster due to the
cursor disappearing!

All help greatfully received.

Kind regards,

Simon

My suggestion would be to try it with the full version of PowerPoint instead
of the viewer.


The viewer is somewhat limited in what it can do. Perhaps the full version
may do this better for you.
