Cursor Disappears When Switching from Slide Show PSS ID Number: Q64726 Article last modified on 09-25-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

WINDOWS

Summary:

When you bring up the Task List during a Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows slide show by pressing CTRL+ESC, and the cursor is not visible within the slide show, the cursor will not be visible with the Task List active. This is true within any application called up from the Task List.

The following are two ways to return the cursor:


 * 1) Return to the slide show and cancel it, returning you to the previous presentation view.
 * 2) Return to the slide show and make the cursor visible by pressing the A key or the equal sign (=) key. Both of these keys toggle the cursor between visible and invisible while in a PowerPoint slide show.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows version 2.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
