cursor disappears
Word 2002.
Sometimes when typing, the text cursor (and mouse cursor) disappear. Sometimes when typing, the text cursor remains visible. For example, I press TAB and the cursor disappears; then when I start to type, the cursor may or may not reappear. Press a letter--no cursor, press another letter, cursor appears, press a letter-no cursor. Sometimes it appears and blinks, sometimes it appears but doesn't blink. It seems inconsistent. Bottom line: it can be disorienting when the text cursor is invisible, especially while typing. What is causing this and is this something that can be managed in Tools or Options? Thanks. |

Hi eric-
The first suggestion would be to go to STARTSettingsControl Panel and check the current settings for Keyboard and for Mouse. You may also have an additional utility depending on what type of mouse & keyboard you have. Adjust the appropriate settings in those Control Panels & see if that improves the situation. If not, go back into th Control Panel for Display. The content will vary depending on your system specifics, but somewhere in there you will find a setting for Hardware Accelleration (usually on the Settings page, click Advanced). Back the setting down a little at a time until the behavior is corrected. HTH |:) "Eric 532" wrote: Word 2002. Sometimes when typing, the text cursor (and mouse cursor) disappear.
