Default Cursor does not stay where it is in Word 2003

Not here it doesn't.

Doug,
It ends up at the place the cursor was before you started using the mouse
wheel to scroll down or upwards.
If I understood newlywed correctly he uses the scrollwheel to view a part
of the document while the cursor is located somewhere else. Pressing the
arrows brings him back to the place the cursor was. If the option is
checked, pressing the arrow keys brings you somewhere on the page you
scrolled to.

Checking or unchecking "Smart Cursoring" does not make any difference for
me.

When you say you have it unchecked, just where does the cursor end up
when you press one of the cursor movement keys?

Hi GR and newlywed

In Word 2003, try un-ticking Tools Edit Use Smart Cursoring.

Hope this helps.

I guess it is possible that one of the 1800 odd commands in Word does
control that behaviour, but, I do not know what it is and right now, I
am using a version of Word that I installed on a computer on Tuesday and
I haven't made any specific modifications to the "out of the box
configuration.

Mr. Robbins,
My cursor acts the same as newlywed's. Is it possible there is a
selectable option in Word 2003 that forces the cursor to act the way
newlywed wants it to act?

It moves either one space to the right or one space to the left of
its original position, depending upon which key is pressed. That
movement I would consider to be appropriate.

Are you sure that you are not left clicking with the mouse in the
position to which you are scrolling before using the cursor movement
keys?

I think I was not clear in my original questions.

Does the cursor stay where it is even when you press right arrow or
left arrow from a distant page?
