Default Word 2003 Cursor display

My corporation has just upgraded us to MSOffice 2003. On my PC in Word the
cursor (I bar) is almost impossible to find. It is just a small dot, almost
like a period. What can I do?

A De Lew,
Try zooming to 500% and back and see if that helps.

I tried that and it did work, temporarily. However, when I close Word and
reopen the period cursor is back. Why does zooming work at all, but more
importantly, what can I do to correct the problem long term?

Since no one has been able to figure out what causes the problem or how to
replicate it, no permanent solution is available.

Thanks I think. I guess there is some comfort in having no hope!!!! It is a
mystery as to why some Word 2003 users have the problem and others do not.
I know lots of folks that have used 2003 for awhile now and have never seen
the problem. Oh, lucky me!
Sincerely thanks for taking the time to respond. I'll continue to zoom.

I have been using Word 2003 since it first came out and have experienced
this problem exactly once. It is indeed a mystery.
