Hi,

I need the cursor to be and stay hidden all the time during my slideshows. I read that control-H was supposed to hide the cursor, which it seems to do, but only as long as you don't move the mouse or pointer. Is that a bug, or is ther a more robust way to hide the cursor permanently during a presentation ?

Thanks
AC

Hello, unfortunately there is no way to hide the cursor permanently in Slide Show. You could advance using keyboard shortcuts and keep the mouse still until you need it - Slide Number to goto that slide, spacebar to activate the next moues click, etc.

Hi,

The suggestion doesn't work for me because I basically use a mouse pointer (Mx Air) to pilot my shows at a distance.

Also, ctrl-H did work perfectly with Powerpoint 2004 - I guess I'll have to switch back...

Thanks for your answer, anyway.
