We have some PowerPoint presentations (scientific posters) that contain
smallish tables and text that are not easily readable when the slide is set
to fit/fill the screen. We would like to be able to easily zoom in on a
section of the slide with a remote control / mouse. (not the crude type of
zoom that just enlarges the pixels in the display buffer making the pixels
big and blocky, we need something intelligent enough to tell PowerPoint to
zoom in a higher percentage on an area of the slide)

If you know the sections in advance, you can set a hyperlink to a hidden
slide(s) of that area enlarged.

Or, you can trigger animate "call-out type images" to come out, then trigger
then to fade out.

following:

Well just for laughs I bought a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse
8000 because the literature says it has a "magnifier" function.... well I
sure can't get it to work... it's not documented in the so-called
instruction sheet... the sheet says that button is for "digital ink"... the
MS website says the button is for magnifier mode... in any case it's a
poorly designed piece of hardware... very clumsy to use and switch between
presenter and mouse modes... the button that looks like a laser pointer
actually ejects the battery door... ugh.
