The only benefit I can see to it is that it at least enables the most
clueless of users to center text properly. I got a document the other day
where all the text was meant to be centered, and the "centering" had been
done with a combination of left indents, tabs, spaces, etc.

Thank you so very much!! I totally agree, it is worse than useless. It

Look in the help for the topic "About Click and Type". It has pictures
and
explanations of all the cursor decorations.

If you don't want the feature (and a lot of us think it's useless or
worse),
go to Tools Options Edit and uncheck "Enable click and type".
