how can I stop cursor turning into hand over hyperlink?

[hils]

I work with developmentally delayed children under 6 years. I make programs
with questions where the answer is a choice of pictures. The hand over the
hyperlink is a bit of a give away to the answer although only one little boy
appears to have figured it as yet!

hils,

can you make the wrong answer also a hyperlink/action setting (even if it is
just set to play a silent sound), or display an "wrong answer" slide.

That way the hand will be displayed for both correct and incorrect answers

If you dont mind the hand not showing at all.

Control Panel > mouse > pointers

Find the hand icon (under link) and browse to replace it with a normal arrow.

Youre right TAJ it doesnt work in XP either! Thats what I get for not testing.

Thank you Steve, John and Taj- I have had a fiddle with this and changing the
cursor definitely works in 2003 but didnt in 2000. I downloaded the 2003
reader and ran it with my version 2000 and so far it appears to work Hils

Changing the system pointer - That will work on newer versions of powerpoint
(2003), but not ppt 97 (and perhaps 2000)
