MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2006Ink annotation features don't work
After starting a slide show in PowerPoint 2003 SP1, I want to use the ink annotation features, such as Highlighter, Ballpoint Pen and Felt Tip Pen, but they don't work. I right-click on the slide and the menu comes up, showing Pointer Options but when I click on any of them to choose the one I want to use, the arrow doesn't change to what I've chosen, and then when I do try to apply Highlighter or one of the others, the next slide appears. What is wrong? Why doesn't this work? This is a problem I have on several computers at work, but not all of them. They are all set up exactly the same way, so I presume it's something that can be turned on and off, but can't find a setting for it. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thank you. Hi, I wonder if keyboard shortcuts work. Could you try <control + p> which should change to pen in slideshow mode (and not print, as in normal view) :-)  SignatureRegards, Glen Millar Microsoft PPT MVP Tutorials and PowerPoint animations at www.pptworkbench.com glen at pptworkbench dot com Please tell us your PowerPoint / Windows version, whether you are using vba, or anything else relevant > After starting a slide show in PowerPoint 2003 SP1, I want to use the ink > annotation features, such as Highlighter, Ballpoint Pen and Felt Tip Pen, [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > presume it's something that can be turned on and off, but can't find a > setting for it.

I needed to install MS Handwriting Components on the affected computers, and once I'd done that, ink annotation works fine in PowerPoint. Thanks for your reply anyway. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > presume it's something that can be turned on and off, but can't find a > > setting for it.

Great ... as Glenn suggests, I'd like to add this to the PPT FAQ; is installing the MS Handwriting Components just a matter of rerunning setup? (I'm not in a position to try that just now or I'd just do it instead of asking ... thanks!) > Thanks for your reply anyway. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > presume it's something that can be turned on and off, but can't find a > > > setting for it.
