How to change slideshow toolbar buttons for pc tablet use ?

[Guest]

There are only 4 buttons in the ppt slideshow for pen, eraser and such. How
can I add more buttons to this existing toolbar that will allow me to quickly
select for example a red pen option, followed by the eraser option then a
yellow highlighter or arrow selection. Since I am using a PC-Tablet and only
the attached pen, I need to be able to quickly and easily change from pen to
highlighter to eraser without always right clicking on the button menus. I
do not like to use the right click on my pen nor use a keyboard and prefer to
not always showmenu pop ups every time I select a new option. The buttons
that I need must be visible on the screen and operate like the existing
buttons. Macros are a possibility but I am hoping for a more advance option.

Hi

I need to do the same as richardo...i created shortcuts (images) on whichyou
can click to get a pen(red,black or blue) or the highlighter.
to get a pen you can use the command
SlideShowWindows(Index:=1).View.PointerType = ppSlideShowPointerpen
and with the command
SlideShowWindows(Index:=1).View.PointerColor = RGB(red:=0, Green:=0,
blue:=0) you can change the color
No problem so far...the problem is that i dont know the command to get the
highlighter and i couldnt find anything either in the help or in the internet
so far...
....so i would be very happy if anyone could help me!!!
thanks
