Advancing Presenter and Engage with a Pointer instead of mouse
Mar 21, 2011
I have a presentation that uses powerpoint and engage interactions. I have learned the presenter would like to use a pointer to advance the presentation.
I can make this work with the powerpoint slides and inside the enage interactions.
The issues I have are starting the first powerpoint slide and moving from engage back to powerpoint.
The first slide will not advance with the pointer (but after I advance it with the mouse I can go back to it with the pointer and then advance)
I cannot navigate away from an engage interaction (forward or back) with the pointer.
Is this type of navigation even possible? I have a few presentations like this that will be used as presentations (or ILT if you will) to large groups first, then be put into our LMS.

I think for the first slide you might want to try to create a slide prior to this slide and set that slide to advance automatically in Slide Properties. For the Engage interaction, I would also set the slide to advance automatically. The person giving the presentation would just need to be made aware of this.
Dunno about engage back to regular slides, but you could try inserting a blank rectangle shape that covers the entire slide and attach a hyperlink to it that goes to the next slide to be displayed.
EDIT: Corrected some typos.
