Default How to change cursor shape from blinking back to normal?

I opened up Word as usual and suddenly the cursor is no longer a blinking
box, but instead a tiny dark line. How to change the cursor back to normal?

I had a similar question -- this did the trick.

Thank you!

Easily the strangest solution I've even encountered, though.
