Oh yeah. It's been up in the 90's for the last two weeks without much of a
break. It's 6:38 pm now and it's still in the high 80's/low 90's. I take it you're feeling the heat also? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Jean-Guy Marcil" NoSpam@LeaveMeAlone wrote in message ...

Sad to say it did not after all, solve the problem. It certainly made it
better in that it lasts a shorter time. It's still happening tho'. Any other ideas? Here's hope for cooler weather all round.

Hi George,
maybe something changed or is changing the blinking time. Have a look at GetCaretBlinkTime and SetCaretBlinkTime Option Explicit ' ----------------------- Declare Function SetCaretBlinkTime Lib "user32" _ (ByVal wMSeconds As Long) As Long Declare Function GetCaretBlinkTime Lib "user32" () As Long ' --------------- Sub Test539() MsgBox GetCaretBlinkTime SetCaretBlinkTime (500) ' half a second is a common value End Sub -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

Helmut,
The cursor blink rate is normal until something happens (see next paragraph) then the cursor procedes to blink rapidly for as much as 1.75 minutes then goes back to the original normal blink rate. When the cursor blinks rapidly, it appears solid with rapid and apparently inconsistent blinks off (as with the spellchecker running). This happens when: You change from the Word window and back, when something is typed *and* the cursor is moved, when you backspace to delete. This does not happen when you type something but do not move the cursor, it does not happen when you move the corsor if you have not typed something, it stops when you save. Turning off spell and grammar checking helped as did clearing the "Label text with smart tags" tickbox (toolsautocorrect options Smart Tags tab). Turning off "Allow background saves" had no apparent effect. It seems like it's checking something. Will that change the blink rate? Or is the screen update causing the cursor to blink? This doesn't stop (for a long time) when the spell ad grammar checking is on. Thanks, George Riley "Helmut Weber" wrote: Hi George, maybe something changed or is changing the blinking time.

Are you using the default cursor or some sort of variation downloaded from
the web? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "George Riley" wrote in message ...

JoAnn,

This happens when: You change from the Word window and back,
That would be pretty normal (since, if the document is large, Word needs to swap it back into memory, which takes time and ressources). when something is typed *and* the cursor is moved, when you backspace to delete. Do you have any add-ins loaded that might do something in the background? You see COM-Add-Ins in the Help menu Info System Info Office Word COM-Add-Ins Another thing that might help a bit would be to work in Normal view and to turn off background pagination (Tools Options General). Regards, Klaus |

Yeah, but we get the occasional short violent storm to cool things down... -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP ISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org |
