Pointersd during Slideshow

[Rich]

Hey Guys,

I know I can turn the pointer off during a slideshow, but
it defaults to automatic for all new presentations and
everytime I open Powerpoint. Does anybody know if there
is there a reg key or something that I can change so that
I can change the default to Arrow?

Rich,

During a slideshow
Ctrl H (=hide) will hide to pointer
Ctrl A (=appear?) will make the pointer come back

Also if you set your presentation to "presented by a speaker", the pointer
will only become visible if you "wiggle" the mouse. Slideshow menu>Set up
show>Tick "presented by a speaker"

If you want to actually change the "look" of the pointer...then you will
need to go (in windows) Start>Settings>Control Panel, Mouse, Pointers, Then
change the normal pointer.
