ID: Q189960

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft PowerPoint 97 For Windows

SUMMARY

This article describes how to turn off on-screen annotation and remove the Annotation and Hidden Slide buttons that appear during a slide show.

MORE INFORMATION

To turn off on-screen annotation and remove the Annotation and Hidden Slide buttons that appear during a slide show, follow these steps:

Begin running the slide show.

Immediately after the first slide appears, press CTL+L or click the right mouse button once to bring up the slide show options menu, click Pointer Options, and click Hide Always.

This disables on-screen annotation for the slide show.

To turn off the annotation icon in PowerPoint Viewer, when using the viewer in a stand-alone installation, (that is, PowerPoint Viewer has been installed, but not PowerPoint itself), you must create a Powerpnt.ini file, and enter the following lines:

[Microsoft PowerPoint]
SlideShowToolBar=0

This disables the annotation icon during a presentation run from PowerPoint Viewer.
