It used to be an underscore, but suddenly it changed to an (annoying) small
vertical bar, perhaps by my accidentally hitting some key.

This is a Windows issue, not Word. Since you didn't state
which version of Windows that you're are using, I'll give
you the XP answer: StartControl Panel Double click on
Mouse. Click on the Pointers tab and change the Scheme to
your liking. Having worked on hundreds of computer club
members over the past years, I haven't seen the underscore
since DOS.

Thanks, Chuck. I realize that my question was misleading. The mouse cursor
is the standard Windows cursor, but what I'm referring to is the
"current-position cursor" (my terminology) that shows where I'm at in the
Word document. That is the symbol (small vertical bar) that I'd like to
change back to an underscore.

Any ideas on that?
