I opened a word document that someone sent me and the cursor truned into a
mall black block. How can I get it back to my usual blinking bar? I searched
for help but keep getting references to document style! And why is a
document allowed to modify my PC settings, I thought it was controlled via
"CONTROL PANEL".
Thanks in advance for any assistence...

Try switching to 500% Zoom and back.
