Here's a quick list of what you can do with the annotation tools:
Pointer. Lets you point out text and graphics on shared content. The pointer displays an arrow with your name and annotation color. To display the laser pointer, which lets you point out text and graphics on shared content using a red "laser beam," click the downward-pointing arrow. Clicking this button again and then clicking the Close button turns off the pointer tool.
Text. Lets you type text on shared content. Attendees can view the text you have entered after you type it and click your mouse in the content viewer, outside the text box.
Line. Lets you draw lines and arrows on shared content. For more options, click the downward-pointing arrow. Clicking this button again and then clicking the Close button turns off the Line tool.
Rectangle. Lets you draw shapes, such as rectangles and ellipses on shared content. For more options, click the downward-pointing arrow. Clicking this button again and then clicking the Close button turns off the Rectangle tool.
Highlighter. Lets you highlight text and other elements in shared content. For more options, click the downward-pointing arrow. Clicking this button again and then clicking the Close button turns off the Highlighter tool.
Annotation color. Displays the Annotation Color palette. Select a color to annotate shared content. The Annotation Color palette closes.
Eraser. Erases text and annotations or clears pointers on shared content. To erase a single annotation, click it in the viewer. For more options, click the downward-pointing arrow. Clicking this button again and clicking the Close button turns off the eraser tool.
