Mouseposé makes presentations easy to follow by highlighting your cursor and visually displaying your mouse clicks.

Is there any way to download a larger cursor for my MacBook? When I’m giving a presentation, it’s difficult for my audience to keep track of where the pointer is on my screen because it’s so small.

You’re in luck! You don’t need to download or purchase any additional software to get a larger cursor, because this functionality is built right into your Mac.

Go into System Preferences > Universal Access, and click the Mouse tab (or Mouse & Trackpad if you’re using a laptop). Adjust the Cursor Size slider bar near the bottom of the window, and your cursor will instantaneously grow or shrink right before your very eyes! This size selection will affect all of the cursors on your Mac: the mouse pointer, the grabber hand, the pointer finger, the text selection tool—everything.

However, when you’re giving a presentation, your audience may really want to see the entire screen a little larger, and not just the cursor itself. If that’s the case, you can easily turn on your Mac’s zoom option in the Seeing tab of System Preferences > Universal Access, or by pressing Command-Option-8 on your keyboard. Once your zoom option is enabled, you can zoom in and out of your entire screen by pressing Command-Option-= (equal sign) and Command-Option-- (hyphen), respectively.

And for even better visual effects while giving a presentation, try Mouseposé ($16.95, www.boinx
