Word 2003 Cursor display
My corporation has just upgraded us to MSOffice 2003. On my PC in Word the
cursor (I bar) is almost impossible to find. It is just a small dot, almost like a period. What can I do?

A De Lew,
Try zooming to 500% and back and see if that helps. -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "A DeLew" schreef in bericht ... My corporation has just upgraded us to MSOffice 2003. On my PC in Word the cursor (I bar) is almost impossible to find. It is just a small dot, almost like a period. What can I do?

I tried that and it did work, temporarily. However, when I close Word and
reopen the period cursor is back. Why does zooming work at all, but more importantly, what can I do to correct the problem long term?

Word 2003 Cursor display
Since no one has been able to figure out what causes the problem or how to
replicate it, no permanent solution is available. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2003 Cursor display
Thanks I think. I guess there is some comfort in having no hope!!!! It is a
mystery as to why some Word 2003 users have the problem and others do not. I know lots of folks that have used 2003 for awhile now and have never seen the problem. Oh, lucky me! Sincerely thanks for taking the time to respond. I'll continue to zoom.

this problem exactly once. It is indeed a mystery. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2003 Cursor display
Same here too. I've used Word 2003 since pre-beta release and I have only
seen it happen once too. It obviously happens but so rarely that MS are unable to simulate it in order to fix the problem (rather like the Handwriting Recognition bug). -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Suzanne S.

Word 2003 Cursor display
I have also had Office 2003 for several years on my personal PC and on two
laptops. Never saw this dot cursor at all. Wonder if removing and re-installing Office would resolve it, or doing a repair?

Word 2003 Cursor display
You can resolve it permanently by adding the following lines to both an
autoopen and an autonew macro in normal.dot on the errant machine. The second zoom setting is the setting you normally work at. With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView .Zoom.Percentage = 500 .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With Reinstalling rarely achieves anything useful and repairing is unlikely to work because it isn't broken. It's a bug! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org A DeLew wrote: I have also had Office 2003 for several years on my personal PC and on two laptops.
