change size of powerpoint cursor

[gbl]

Is there a plug-in or 3rd party app that will make the powerpoint
cursor/arrow bigger? I know I can set it to Windows Large or Extra Large in
the Mouse control panel but I would prefer something that can be toggled
on/off from inside powerpoint. Ideally you could make the mouse bigger with
the + key, smaller with the - key. I would be interested in VBA pointers if
this can be done there too.

thanks

Hi

Why do you need it bigger? I ask as I use the 'show location of pointer when
I press ctrl' in the start -> control panel -> mouse -> pointer options
dialogue to draw attention to areas of slides (or areas of user interface
when training). It makes a big circle appear and get smaller every time you
hit ctrl. Would that work for you?

Thanks for the tip, I need it bigger because in large rooms it's difficult to
see and it also sometimes gets lost depending on what type of images or
movies or colors you have in the background. It's surprising this isn't a
built in feature.
