I've made a simple Opus slideshow for a client and, rather than use a mouse, he wants to use a Kensington wireless pointer. As far as I can tell, this only works with Powerpoint presentations. Does anyone know if this is correct?

You can use it with anything as long as you make the trigger the keypress sent by the remote. I did something similar and found that the remote was sending Page Up and Page Down signals from its forward and back buttons (and B for the black screen, but that is a different story). By setting your actions to be triggered by the corresponding key presses, you should be able to make it work.

Thanks, Tom. I'll let the client know.
