Default change the cursor shape/color in MS Word 2003

Is it possible to give the cursor in MS Word 2003 a different shape or color?
I find the black line can be difficult to see/locate in a doc sometimes.
Thank you

Hi Mac,

It depends on which of the 'cursors' you're looking to change. If you want to make the I-bar insertion point locater more visible
you can use 'Vippy'

If you want to change the thickness of the typing cursor if you're on Windows XP you can use Start=Control
Panel=Accessibility=Display=Cursor Options=Width.
