Slide Show Arrow defalt setting to "visible" ?

[Guest]

Is there any way to change the default arrow view option from "automatic" to
"visible"? I need the arrow to always remain onscreen, as presenters are
required to use it instead of a laser pointer to point to areas on the
presentation (laser pointers don't show up on the VGA feed I use to record
the meetings). As it is now, everytime a powerpoint is shown during a
meeting (which can happen 4 - 5 times a meeting), I have to manually set it
to visible.

You could add this little macro to your program. Personally, I would
trigger it off of a mouse over action setting rather than building an event
trap for a started show.

Sub Custer()
SlideShowWindows(1).View _
.PointerType = ppSlideShowPointerArrow
End Sub

If you need help setting this up, please post back.
