MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006how can I stop cursor turning into hand over hyperlink?
I work with developmentally delayed children under 6 years. I make programs with questions where the answer is a choice of pictures. The hand over the hyperlink is a bit of a give away to the answer although only one little boy appears to have figured it as yet! hils, can you make the wrong answer also a hyperlink/action setting (even if it is just set to play a silent sound), or display an "wrong answer" slide. That way the hand will be displayed for both correct and incorrect answers Cheers TAJ Simmons microsoft powerpoint mvp awesome - powerpoint backgrounds, http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com free powerpoint templates, tutorials, hints, tips and more... >I work with developmentally delayed children under 6 years.

Changing the system pointer - That will work on newer versions of powerpoint (2003), but not ppt 97 (and perhaps 2000) Cheers TAJ Youre right TAJ it doesnt work in XP either! Thats what I get for not testing. _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist > Changing the system pointer - That will work on newer versions of powerpoint > (2003), but not ppt 97 (and perhaps 2000) > > Cheers > TAJ > Changing the system pointer - That will work on newer versions of powerpoint > (2003), but not ppt 97 (and perhaps 2000) Doesn't seem to work in 2000. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ > > Changing the system pointer - That will work on newer versions of powerpoint > > (2003), but not ppt 97 (and perhaps 2000) [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ Thank you Steve, John and Taj- I have had a fiddle with this and changing the cursor definitely works in 2003 but didnt in 2000. I downloaded the 2003 reader and ran it with my version 2000 and so far it appears to work Hils > > Changing the system pointer - That will work on newer versions of powerpoint > > (2003), but not ppt 97 (and perhaps 2000) [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ |
