I like reading with my finger under text...

I like reading with my index finger passing underneath the text ever
since I found it helped me read faster at a speed reading demo/pitch
free seminar. I wish either the arrow pointer could remain an arrow
pointer when I move it over text instead of changing into a bar then
I could use IT. Or better yet a program or plugin that would underline
the line I'm at and move to the next one when I pressed the space key
or some other key and that could work with pdf's. I've seen some
out and out speed reading programs but that's not what I'm looking
for -- they make you commit to a designatable speed -- I want
something more leisurely that would just help my concentration when
I'm reading at 2 in the morning. I just want to be able to click down
a page line by line at my pace. Doesnt have to be free.
Thanx in advance.

First go to your control panel. Then change the view if your still using the default category (XP/Vista= Switch to Classic View, 7= View by Large/Small Icons). After that, click "Mouse" and then the "Pointers" tab. Find "Text Select", highlight it, click browse, and choose another cursor.

Hey J.L. thanks a lot. That does help -- better than nothing.
But I'm wondering if it is possible for my brother-in-law
who is a Java programmer
to write me a line under the "printed line I'm reading"
that would go down one line in response to a button press
and would do it on a PDF reader or am I asking for
too much. Do you need to use C++ for stuff like that?
But hey what you suggested is a big help in any case.

Your welcome. As for your other questions, I'm not sure about it, you should ask him yourself.
