  2. From the Laser pointer menu, select the color that you want the laser pointer to use.
  3. Click OK.
  4. To use the laser pointer, click and drag anywhere on a JMP report where the cursor appears as a left-pointing arrow. The colored line of the laser pointer persists until you release the mouse button.
