How do I change the cursor insertion point symbol?
I opened an existing document in Word 2003 that was sent to me via email . It
was setup to view four pages at a time on screen, and that was okay. But, now that I've gotten out of the file, whenever I open Word for a new document, the cursor insertion point has a much smaller vertical line displayed. The font size is the same---that 's the first thing I checked. How can I change the cursor vertical symbol to the longer one I had prior to opening the emailed document? |

Possibly, at least until someone figures out what causes it.

Today things are back to normal. Restarting Windows seems to have fixed it.
Maybe all I needed was to restart Word ... not sure. Thanks! /eli "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Possibly, at least until someone figures out what causes it. -- Suzanne S.

How do I change the cursor insertion point symbol?
I had the exact same problem and it was driving me crazy. Then someone
e-mailed me a document in a larger size font than usual and I noticed that the cursor, although still small, was larger than before. Unbelievably, on my own, I tried the 500% zoom in and out and that worked, but like you say, the next document I opened had the short one again. So I started poking around for an answer here and Imagine my surprise to discover that this is "the actual fix" for this problem! New documents still had the short cursor until I saved one of the files with the larger one, quit Word and then reopened. I hope that fixes it for good! Basically just adding this post to add credence to it being a bug. JoeDeth "eli" wrote: That works, but when I re-open the document I'm back to the short cursor.
