Hi Suzanne

I experience this frequently in Word 2003. I'm trying to develop reliable
reproducible steps. I'm currently convinced it has something to do with (a)
having several documents open at once and (b) those documents displayed at
different zoom rates, ie one at 80%, one at 90%, one at 125% etc. But I
can't quite get reproducible steps, yet.

For me, View Zoom OK is enough to set the cursor size back to rights.
And, I find that it corrects itself when you exit Word and re-start.

There's a lot of that going around, and so far no one has established what
causes it, but changing the Zoom to 500% and back reportedly fixes it.
