Using Spotlight in a Presentation Slides Nov 30, 2011 By Helen Tarbox I have a presentation slide that includes 3 Spotlight Annotations, however after the last Spotlight has been applied I need to remove the Spotlight effect (so the screen reverts to normal brightness) while the audio continues. Is there anyway of achieving this effect? Many thanks in advance.

Helen Tarbox Author over 12 years ago12/01/11 at 12:31 am (UTC) Hi Peter I don't want to remove the annotations as they are showing learnings the location of items on the screen. When I reach the point where I no longer want to see the Spotlight do I use 'Stop Annotation' or ''Clear Annotation'?
Poornima Ramachandran over 12 years ago12/01/11 at 1:17 am (UTC) Helen, I think `Clear all' will be useful to you. But you can only make one highlight, clear it, and then go for a next highlight. For your need, I think it is wise to give custom animation to a shape that makes it look like a highlight. And all you need to do is to sync the animation.
