Insertion point
I had to reinstall Word 2002 on a new hard drive, and now the insertion
point has these small horizontal lines that move along with the insertion point (either leading or trailing depending on how the insertion point is moved) . How do I go back to the simple vertical insertion point without these little accompanying lines? I looked all over in Tools / Options but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance. George |

Suzanne, thanks a million for the fast response. It would never have
occurred to me that that was the item controlling the insertion point! George "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Insertion point
If you actually wanted to use "Click and type," you could double-click
anywhere on the page to start typing there. The pointer shows you whether you would get left-aligned, centered, or right-aligned text. The only problem is that the way this is done is by inserting dozens of empty paragraphs, tab characters, spaces, etc. Very inelegant! -- Suzanne S.
