You've already found the needed setting. We usually tell people 500%, but
apparently 200% works for you, too. No one knows what causes this problem,
hence the absence of any better solution.

When I open Microsoft Word the insertion point is teeny tiny. When I
select
Zoom 200%, then Zoom 100%, the insertion point goes back to its normal
size.
I don't know why this started happening. I don't know what setting to use
to
restore it.
