Presenters can use the pointer to direct participants attention to specific content in a presentation or shared application. The pointer appears to the presenter and all participants as an arrow.

Using the pointer

1. Click Pointer on the toolbar. The cursor changes to an arrow.
2. Use the mouse to move the pointer.
3. Click the left-mouse button to place a pointer on the page.

To stop using the pointer, click Pointer a second time, or click Erase.

To erase the arrows, click Erase on the toolbar. Also, if you advance to the next presentation page or slide, arrows are removed. Annotations are not stored or retained in the presentation.

Notes

• The pointer uses smart scrolling. If the presenter points at content that falls outside of the view of a participant, the content in the participant window is adjusted or scrolled. Smart scrolling ensures that everyone is able to see what the presenter is indicating.
• In some Web browsers, annotations might not display over blank areas of a presentation.
