Can't ink in presentation (pen or mouse) - just advances the slide

PowerPoint 2007

I've got my tablet in presenter mode, and I can't annotate my slides during
a presentation. The ink help topic from Microsoft says:

"To write on slides during your slide show, do the following: In Slide Show
view, right-click the slide that you want to write on, point to Pointer
Options, and then click a pen or highlighter option. Hold down the left
mouse button and drag to write or draw on your slides."

If only it were that easy. Left clicking the mouse does allow me to draw on
the slide, but as soon as release the left button (or remove the pen) it
advances to the next slide.

There has to be an easy explanation or fix, but I have not found one
anywhere. I tried searching these posts but got nothing. And, I don't want
to call and pay to have them give me an easy solution to something that
clearly isn't working according to their instructions and isn't addressed in
any of the help topics.

Please Help.
