I know this is not on the same level as the rest of the questions, please forgive me [:)] But I have created a button (using the button option under the object library. I have it configured that when you click on it, it goes to slide X. And it does. However, when I put my cursor over it, it doesn't change indicating a "hot" button. Please advise how to do this.

You can indicate the button is hot but you have to change the button itself.
1. make your normal and mouse over buttons and save them somewhere.
2. Pick a button from the object library / navigation, anyone will do and pop it on the page.
3. Right click and go into properties.
4. Deselect 'use default button set' and browse to your graphics for enabled and on mouse over.
5. In actions set an onclick display action.

Now the user sees the icon change when they hover the mouse over it [:D]

Hi, Kim!
Yes, cursor type is not changed and stays default. We will fix it in 2.4 version.
