Mouse Pointer is dark horizonatal line!? I want the arrow back, pl
I am using Microsoft Word 2003 on XP. My mouse pointer has turned into a
dark horizonal line. I have no idea how this happened. How can I get the mouse pointer back to be the little arrow? |

Problem is solved, but, I still don't know what happened. I clicked on a
button on the toolbar with my strange new horizontal line pointer and I got a message saying that the "Menu could not be found" and then my mouse turned back into the little arrow. Anyone have any idea what happened? "flowers_on_the_wall" wrote: I am using Microsoft Word 2003 on XP. My mouse pointer has turned into a dark horizonal line. I have no idea how this happened.

You accidentally pressed Ctrl+Alt+hyphen, which activated the
"destructive cursor". This cursor deletes whatever menu item you click on. Fortunately, you didn't click on a menu item. Press the Escape key to turn off the destructive cursor. flowers_on_the_wall wrote: Problem is solved, but, I still don't know what happened.

So, one could say the cursor is literally a "curse-er" ha ha!
