I've inserted a mouse cursor and when to the ribbon to disable the clicking sound. Is there a way to remove the motion of the cursor? I just want the mouse to display next the menu item that the user needs to select.
Yes, what you recommended worked. When I clicked and dragged the mouse to remove the path the mouse doesn't end up where I want to place it on the screen. When I drag the mouse to where I want to place it a new motion path is created.
You should be able to double click the mouse cursor and then select the center box for no entry. However, it seems to still be giving me a tail. Let me check with our folks...
Can I shorten the mouse trail? It takes a really long time for the mouse cursor to travel the path to where I want it to click. How can I decrease that time it takes to travel the path?
You can shorten the travel time by decreasing the mouse's time on the timeline. The mouse will arrive at it's intended location at the end of it's time on the timeline. So you can drag the edges of the element in the timeline to adjust the length of the mouse is on the slide (and, along with that...it's speed). Shorter timeline presence = faster speed.
You're right there isn't an option to modify the path except for these options in the toolbar! If you're interested in submitting this as a feature request, please use this link.
Hello, I would need the "Show Click Effects" box to be deselected as default. My employer doesn't want this effect to show in our projects. As it is now, I need to deselect it on every slide, every time. It is rather time consuming. :)
In the hope that there's a magic trick for this, I thank you in advance. Pascale

Jodi,
Sure can. Just click and drag the mouse from the direction where the path is coming from and the path will shrink, and, eventually, disappear.

Jodi,
I just chatted with our developers and it appears that we can't remove the mouse trail. It would make a great feature request if you'd be willing to submit: http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/submit.php?form=feature
In the meantime, I might suggest using a .png mouse image. This should serve the same purpose and can quickly be inserted when needed.

I hope this helps!

Hi Cindy
you can shorten the mouse timeline duration that should help
Yeah.
What she said!
Realizes he went a little overboard on this one.
Ha ha Mike - I didn't refresh my screen to see your comprehensively accurate answer with graphics :-)
Thank you, thank you! All of you, thank you!
Hi Mike,
I think I hear you say that we can't modify the path of the cursor. What alternative do I have to make the path accurate? It is not accurate. Thanks
