Using a laser pointer in Powerpoint is a great way to focus the audience on a specific part of your presentation.
But if you do not have or forgot to bring it at the time of your presentation, then you can use a small PowerPoint setting to convert your mouse to a laser pointer.
Make your mouse lazer
Microsoft with version του PowerPoint 2010 προσφέρει μία πραγματικά μεγάλη βοήθεια στους ξεχασιάρηδες παρουσιαστές που δεν έφεραν μαζί τους τον δείκτη lazer. Παρέχει ένα χαρακτηριστικό που μετατρέπει το ποντίκι σε δείκτη λέιζερ. Η ενεργοποίηση αυτής της λειτουργίας είναι πολύ απλή και γίνεται κατά τη διάρκεια της realof presentation.
Once you start your presentation and want to change your mouse cursor to a laser, press and hold key “Ctrl” and then hold down the left mouse button. Work your mouse as normal, on your table, except now you will see a red dot on your screen, like that of a lazer pointer, which will move according to your mouse movement.
If you release the "Ctrl" key, you will see the laser marker become a pointer again.
Change the color of the laser
The default laser color is red, which may not look good depending on the color of your slides. To change the laser color, go to the Slide Show tab in your presentation, then do click on the "Slideshow Settings" button
In the "Slide Show Settings" window, click the button next to "Laser Pointer Color" in the "Viewing Options" section. A three-color menu will appear. Here you can choose red, green or blue. Once you have selected your color, click the "OK" button.
These are the only options available, so choose carefully according to the background color of your slides if you plan to use the laser pointer function.
