Eraser Tool

[Greg]

Where do I find the eraser tool and how do I save it to my toolbar?

 

[Sonia]

There is no eraser tool in PowerPoint other than the "undo" function. If you
mean the ink eraser in slide show mode, just press "E" and all pen ink markings
will be erased. Or you can right click on the slide show screen and select the
eraser and selectively erase markings.

What Sonia said and ...

Other than the tools that let you draw during slide show mode,
PowerPoint, using Drawing, not Painting. In Drawing, you are drawing
objects. You can select these objects and change the attributes of them
(such as size, color, fill, etc.), but you can't erase dots. That's
something that is done in painting applications that don't paint object,
but paint a bunch of dots that look like objects. Thus, in Painting, you
might think you are drawing a rectangle, but you are drawing a bunch of
independent dots that look like a rectangle. It is harder to change the
attributes of what is painted, but since all the dots are really
independent, you can erase individual ones or groups of dots with an
eraser tool.
