Cursor shrunk
Suddenly the cursor in my Word documents is about half the size it was. Did
I accidentally change something? |

I did the 500% zoom and back and it worked. It looks like I will have to do
the zoom thing in each document that has his problem. No, I haven't installed Service Pack 2 yet. I have no idea what made this change. It was fine when I shut down last night and was shrunk today when I went back to work. "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

If the problem is re-occurring, then try adding the following two lines to
both an autonew and an autoopen macro. It will switch to 500% then immediately back to 100% for each document you open or create. If you normally use a different zoom from 100% then change the figure in the second line. ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 500 ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100 See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mel wrote: I did the 500% zoom and back and it worked.
