missing insertion point cursor
the This problem is associated with several Microsoft Office programmes
including Word. I can successfully enter text into text box field ares but the insertion point cursor is missing. Outlook Address Book lookup is a typical example. I have no similar problems in the main document areas, where cursor behaves perfectly. |

I have since solved my problem as follows:
Go to Control Panel/Accessibility Options/Display and change the cursor width to a wider setting. Click OK and then return to check that your cursor insertion point has returned. repeat process and return cursor width to the narrow setting. Click Ok and check that that the problem is solved. Hope this helps. "auzgolf" wrote: I also have the same problem - 1st noticed by me when updating Contacts in Outlook - I use latest XP Pro & Office Pro 2003.
