Annotating a Slide Show


PP07S-4.5.3

When you are presenting your slide show, you can turn your mouse pointer into a pen tool to highlight and circle your key points. If you decide to use a pen tool, you might want to set its color to match the colors in your presentation. When you are finished, you can turn the pen back to the normal mouse pointer. Mark ups you make on a slide with the pen tool during a slide show can be saved with the presentation, and then turned on or off when you re-open the presentation for editing.

Click the Pen button, point to Arrow Options, and then click a pointer option.
