When you are presenting your slide show, you can turn
your mouse pointer into a pen tool to highlight and circle your key
points. If you decide to use a pen tool, you might want to set its color
to match the colors in your presentation. When you are finished, you
can turn the pen back to the normal mouse pointer. Mark ups you make on a
slide with the pen tool during a slide show can be saved with the
presentation, and then turned on or off when you re-open the
presentation for editing.
