keeping mouse pointer visible at all times?

[Scott]

I've made a very interactive Powerpoint slide show
and I'd like to keep the mouse pointer visible at
all times. Is there a way of disabling the mouse
disappearing after a few seconds?
Thanks in advance..

Presentations configured for Kiosks ("Slide Show" | "Set Up Show...", check
"Browsed at a kiosk" box) always have the mouse visible at all times. Kiosk
shows also disable the keyboard except the Escape key - which takes you out
of the slide show.

If you don't want to configure your presentation this way, you might want to
look at my free ShowMouse utility available at http://officeone.mvps.org/ -
it will keep the mouse visible at all times during the slide show.

Thanks Chirag,
Changing the setup to the Kiosk setting did the trick.
Thanks also for the offer on the utility.
