The size of my mouse cursor has changed all of a sudden. The original size
can still be seen while using applications like notepad or excel, but the
cursor size in word has become extremely small. How can i change the size of
the same?

[Stefan Blom]

Change the Zoom to 500% and then back to restore the correct cursor
size.

For a slightly more permanent fix. Use "normal.dot" from someone else who
does not have this problem. Overwrite your own normal.dot with this file. Of
course adjust the necessary things later on.

That's not a particularly good plan! Rename normal.dot and a new default one
will result. However this cursor issue is caused by a minor software bug and
changing normal.dot will not necessarily affect it. If you want a permamnent
fix you'll need an autonew and an autoopen macro in normal.dot with the
following lines.

With ActiveWindow.View
.Zoom.Percentage = 500
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With

The second zoom is your preferred setting.

stays away...

that's true!
But where do I make these changes then. I mean, which path do I walk to
enter these lines?

As Graham suggests, there's an easier way to get a default Normal.dot, but
most of us have *way* too much investment in customization to want to do
that.
