Turn your mouse into a laser pointer
In Slide Show, or Reading view, you can turn your mouse into a laser pointer to draw your audiences attention to something on a slide.
To use the laser pointer in the Slide Show view, on the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click either From Beginning, or From Current Slide to start your slide show.
To use the laser pointer in Reading view, on the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click Reading View.
Then press and hold Ctrl, click the left mouse button and point to the contents on the slide to which you want to draw attention.
If you want your audience to see the laser pointer, but not your mouse pointer, be sure to press and hold Ctrl before you move your mouse, to keep the mouse pointer hidden.
To change the colour of the laser pointer, do the following:
- On the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Set Up Slide Show
- In the Set Up Show dialog box, under Show Options, select the colour that you want from the Laser pointer colour list, and then click OK.
