It turns out that I can get the 4-pointed cursor, too... but not in Word. It
does show up in Excel (where it's of more use), but wouldn't be very useful
for me in Word, since I typically don't have Word documents that are that
wide. I'm now wondering just what circumstance one would need for it to work
in a Word document. Creating a very wide document didn't do it.
In any case, I'm glad you have a way out--but I'm surprised that Escape
doesn't do it. I also find that pressing any key--backspace, space, Ctrl,
Shift, a letter, Enter, etc.--also turns off AutoScroll here. So does
clicking any of the other mouse buttons.

Clicking the mouse wheel gets rid of the two-pointed version (which I also
got by clicking the mouse wheel). I hope it works when the four-pointed
kind
appears again. Thanks to all who clued me in about this.

The Escape key is what I'd expect to work, but it didn't get rid of the
scrolling cursor. I even resorted to rebooting to get rid of it. Is
