Is there a way to have Power Point not show the cursor in a slide show. I
have a show that runs from a PC that is nowhere near the display. It loops
constantly, 24X7. When a new show comes out, we shut down the PC, insert the
new CD, and off it goes. It's a pain to get a long USB cable for the mouse,
drag it out (about 30 feet all in all) just to move the cursor out of the
text area.

Thanks for any help

You could ....

1) After starting the show, just drag the cursor all the way to the bottom
left
2) Change the cursor on that machine to a single pixel (or no pixels if you
feel daring)

If you have access to the keyboard, just hit Ctrl+H.
