I don't see how settings for the Command Prompt could make a

But note that you can use auto macros in normal.dot to apply the "zoom
fix." See the examples athttp://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

There is supposed to be permanent fix by accessing the Command
Prompt. I
tried it but it doesn' change the size either. Go to
START-ACCESSORIES-COMMAND PROMPT. Right click on the diaglog box
title and
SELECT Defaults, then check the size under OPTIONS - maybe it will
work for
you - it didn't for me so it is still a mystery. Using the ZOOM
procedure
works but is only temporary for the current document.

I have the same problem, and it can be fixed by changing the
zoom or by
changing to Read layout and back again. But I find these are
temporary
fixes
and when I close out of Word and go back in, the problem is
there again.
My
small cursor has only appeared in the last day or so.
Does anyone know of a permanent fix ??

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Switch to 500% zoom and back again. (We don't know why it
happens or why
this fixes it.)

I know this is a bit late and many of you may have found a cure but I
thought I would post the solution I used to solve the problem for any
future sufferers:
1) Shut down Microsoft Word (and Outlook if it uses Word).
2) Go to Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Microsoft
\Templates and rename normal.dot to "normal1.dot".
3) Start Word, close the blank document that appears, and load the
'problem' document template (now normal1.dot) using file-open and
navigating to it as in 2).
4) Correct the cursor (if neccesary) and add a toolbar using view-
toolbars (I selected 'Email').
5) Save the document and exit Word
6) Go back to Templates and delete the newly created normal.dot and
rename "normal1.dot" back to "normal.dot"
7) restart Word and remove the toolbar you added (just to return to
your previous layout).
This worked for me so I hope it is a universal fix.
