Default Customizing Mouse Pointer?

Hi,
I'd like to get Word to stop putting little text lines next to the pointer
when I am mousing over text. I looked but could only find info on changing
the pointer itself, not on changing the contextual behavior/appearance.

I really dislike added busyness when I am working in a file, so try to get
things as stripped down and simple as possible (a real challenge in Windows,
I am finding!)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Jessica

G'Day Jessica,

The 'little text lines' are there to tell you that a useful feature of Word
(Click-and-Type) is available to you. Please see:

Hi Pat,
Thanks for your post. I was able to follow your link and find a way to turn
off the Click and Type feature.
