How interesting! If they're cheap enough, I might have to get one.

Hi,
Sorry for not being particularly specific. What I'm calling a
"clicker thing" is one of those clicker devices that many presenters
use. It often has a Bluetooth connection with go forward/go back
buttons, the play/pause button and some even have up/down volumes.
I've used a few and sometimes the Mac believes them to be a keyboard
and brings up a keyboard selector window which you can just close.
The clicker will work properly after closing it as the few buttons on
it appear to be recognized without going through the process of
pressing letters that don't exist on the device. You can usually get
these off of Amazon, or should be available at any office supply
retailer such as Staples etc.
HTH.

Tim,
Clicker things? Now I'm more than very interested. Please explain.
I've become the de facto audiovisual guy for a group to which I belong
that has a monthly discussion meeting surrounding material in a
PowerPoint slide presentation. Doing this while sitting with my group
and running it wirelessly, either via a Bluetooth keyboard or a
clicker device would make big points with the group leader/facilitator
and make it look like I really know what I'm doing (LOLLOL).

Hi,
The "On click" should respond to the click of a mouse, the click of a
TrackPad, the press of the spacebar and I believe that it also
responds to the press of the return key. You can also use one of
those clicker things to do any of these actions as well as move
through presentations.
