I've noticed that after inserting an animation in a project, the slide after the slide I've edited often has the wrong beginning point for the mouse. Here's how I've solved the problem:
- Duplicate the slide after the slide with the inserted animation
- On the duplicated slide, drag the mouse pointer to the desired beginning point
- Hide the mouse on the duplicated slide
- Make the slide timing for the duplicated slide as short as you can (1/4 second or so)
- On the slide after the duplicated slide, align the mouse to previous slide
Now the next slide has the correct beginning point for the mouse.
