Ever want to write on a slide during a presentation to emphasize certain 
words or add your own notes? Try the following:

On Windows:

1)	In Slide Show view, right click in the window.
2)	Go to Pointer Options and select Pen.
3)	Draw all over the slide. When you're done, press ESC.

On Mac:

1)	In Slide Show view, hold down the Control key and click on the screen.
2)	Go to Pointer Options and select Pen.
3)	Draw all over the slide. When you're done, press ESC.

Note that pen markings are not permanent and are cleared when you leave 
that slide.
