default of arrow option

[MF]

How could I set the default for the arrow option to be always visible instead
of it returning to be automatic every time I start a slide show

 

[John Wilson]

It always goes back to automatic (even with the vba option below)

Quickest answer - as soon as the presentation starts press ctrl A

If vba is an option a button that runs this code on slide 1 will also do the
trick

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View. _
PointerType = ppSlideShowPointerArrow
--

Did that answer the question / help?
