Can I keep the cursor on the screen when switching from Show to Hi
I use a lot of "Invisible" characters. When I go from "Show" to "Hide" (the
backward "P" thing) my cursor (and my place in the doc) goes flying off the screen to who knows where. Is there a way to keep the cursor on the screen? Thanks for your help. :-) |

Hi ?B?S2VuIFJvbGxlcg==?=,
I use a lot of "Invisible" characters. When I go from "Show" to "Hide" (the backward "P" thing) my cursor (and my place in the doc) goes flying off the screen to who knows where. Is there a way to keep the cursor on the screen? The newest versions of Word seem to do a better job with this than older ones, but it's still a problem. I usually press the left or right arrow key to get the focus back to where the cursor is.

Hi, Cindy,
Thanks for the comeback. :-) The problem is far worse than I think you imagine. The displayed will jump sometimes SEVERAL pages, not just several lines. I thought you might have a grandly simple answer to a very vexing problem, but it only works if you're on the same page. In my case, the cursor seems to jump randomly to the top or bottom of the page that the computer has expanded to, and gives me NO IDEA where I'd been typing. :-( "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?S2VuIFJvbGxlcg==?=, I use a lot of "Invisible" characters.

In my case, the cursor seems to jump randomly to the top or bottom of the page that the computer has expanded to, and gives me NO IDEA where I'd been typing. :-( Oh, I understand the problem, all right. I experience it myself, regularly. But moving the cursor usually works. If left/right doesn't work for you, how about up/down?
