Default Turning Laser Pointer on + Changing it's Color

I've read a few Googled results but I don't see on the Slide Show tab any references to From Beginning or From Current Slide to turn the laser pointer on.




How do I turn the laser pointer on?



Nor do I see any Set Up to change the color of the laser point.


How do I change the laser pointer color?


Thank you so much

Code:
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.LaserPointerEnabled = True
can be used to Automatically turn it on when a show starts

AFAIK the pointer can only be red

I take it you really don't have Office 97!

In PP 365 I don't see in the SlideShow tool any Laser Pointer to Enable.

If I then click on the View tool (3 tools to the right of the SlideShow tool) I don't see any laser pointer either.

You CAN choose the laser pointer color in

Slide Show (tab) > Set Up Slide Show (tool) - red, blue, or green

Is there any way to enlarge the pointer size?



1.Start your slide show.


2.Hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while you and click and drag the mouse.

The mouse pointer will change to a laser pointer.

3.Release the mouse button and Ctrl key to turn off the laser pointer.


Thanks.

Open Pointer by opening a slide (F5) and then Ctrl + L


Other laser pointer colors - Right Click on a slide and choose among 10+ other colors.


Thanks.
