Thank you Brian, No apologies are needed for the length of your answer - quite the opposite - it is good not only to be forewarned of the potential problems but also to have the solutions to them, you have been a great help.

Thank for your help Den, it is very much appreciated.

Hi Brian, thank you for taking the time to help. I am looking for hardware something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kensington-Si600-W...r/dp/B000FPGP4U but wonder how well they work with a finished presentation. I set my shows so that a left click moves forward one slide and a right click moves one slide backward, but as PTE gives so may options for the response to mouse clicks, I wondered if there are any presentation tools that could be made to work with a program that allows such great creator flexibility.

For my pte presentations I tend to use left click for to move forward and right click to go backwards. When viewing a PowerPoint presentation, a left mouse click moves forward without problem, but a right click brings up a drop down menu, NEXT is only one of several options.

On the market are numerous combined laser-pointer and PowerPoint-remote-control devices. I am looking for one which works with both PowerPoint (which I have to use at work) and PTE which I use privately.
