Changing Mouse Pointer at Rollover Location

I'm working on Excel training/simulations, and at a certain point I want to instruct students to resize a column by double clicking between the column headers.  When they do this in Excel, their cursor changes to a "plus sign with arrows on the sides" to signify that they're over the correct spot.  I can insert a rollover image on that spot that shows the correct cursor type, but all it does is display the image in that spot while the mouse pointer remains the hand.

Is there any way in Captivate 9 to force the mouse pointer to change at specific rollover locations?

I think that's a good idea. It's been too long since I wrote anything, thanks!


If the output is HTML5 you can do this with CpExtra as explained here:

You actually can do it for HTML5 with some CSS and JavaScript.

Sorry for the short answer: No!

For SWF output InfoSemantics had a cursor widget.
