powerpoint >> Can I capture pointer movements in a recorded presentation?

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Intel

I want to record a presentation that also captures movements of the pointer so I can illustrate various features about the images I show. Thus far my attempts using 'record narration' does just that, it only captures the slide plus narration, but no pointer movements. Can this be done within Powerpoint or must I resort to a third-party product?

I prefer working with OS 10.4.11 and Powerpoint2004 but also have OS10.5.6 and Powerpoint2008 available.

An addendum to my previous post: I also have access to WindowsXP and Powerpoint2007.

In either case, you'd need a third-party product.

On the Windows system, Techsmith's Camtasia is hard to beat.

I'm using Toshiba Tablet PC with the Pen. The user is 
going to use the Pen with PowerPoint slides to point to 
important things on graphs or diagrams. I would like to 
record those movements of pointing device in PowerPoint 
slides for the purpose to later convert it to jpeg 
images. Final goal is to make Presentation with the 
speaker talking and the slides on his right slides with 
all the movement of the Pen. I'm doing it for Macintosh 
users that's why I need jpeg images.
How to do recording. Thanks in advance.

6. How do I capture mouse movements... 

Okay, So I am an experienced PowerPlant programmer.  Recently I have 
been moving a decent sized gui project over to PPx.  Many of the gui 
elements that I am working with (custom panes and views and such) 
require mouse tracking in the form of the old LMouseTracker 
class/LPane::MouseWithin.  I was going to try to use an PPx::IdleTimer, 
essentially copying the behaviour of the LMouseTracker periodical, but 
the PPx::IdleTimer does not send a mouse event that I can work with.  I 
then discovered PPx::MouseMovedDoer, but I never see the event get 
posted (my DoMouseMoved method never gets called).  Other things I have 
tried have also proven fruitless. So how do I implement a non-blocking 
mouse tracker with PPx?

Thanks,
