Possibly it is Alt+Ctrl++, which Word's Help topic "Keyboard shortcuts"
defines as follows:
ALT+CTRL++ (plus key on numeric keypad)
Customize the shortcut key for a menu command. When you type this shortcut
key and then select a menu command, the Customize Keyboard dialog box opens
so you can add, change, or remove the shortcut key.
What you get with that is not really a plus sign, though, but a character
sometimes described as a cloverleaf (character 122 in the Wingdings font). I
thought there was something that produced a plus sign (as Alt+Ctrl+Hyphen
produces a "minus"), but I'm not finding it at the moment.

Well, that's exactly what I did. You are right, it does not matter, if you
mean being any trouble or problem for me. But I just want to understand
what
happened and to be able to do it again. And to use this function I did not
know before :-))

Why does it matter? If it happens again, press the Escape key to reset
the cursor.

When working on a Word document, I pressed by accident a key

I cannot remember anymore. Suddenly, the normal cursor changed into a
small black cross. Afterwards I tried to do it again, by I could not
find
the correct key combination. Does anybody know what I did and what the
function of that black cross is?
Thanks a lot for your help.
