I am a Mac guy so I was going to suggest something like iCursor (it's free) BUT if I am understanding what you want to do...why not try something like this? Since you've got 1st in your name I will assume grade one which also makes me assume not a lot of words in your poems (correct me if I am wrong on this). You could duplicate the side containing your poem as many times as there are words in your poem. (20 words, 20 slides all the same) Then highlight a different word on each slide so that when you play the show, each word will be highlighted in turn. As you advance through your slides when you play it, each word will stand out and you can pause on a word if you like. Is that what you wanted to do? Greg
