MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / January 2004Changing the colour of the cursor in Word
Any idea how to change the colour of the cursor in Word - ideally to red rather than black. This will make it more visible for a friend who has difficulty finding it on the page. Thanks so much As Andre has said, there's no way to change the cursor color, but a good way to make it (and everything else) more visible is to increase the default zoom ratio. For example, if I choose Page Width in Normal view on my system, I get a zoom of 166%. Your friend would find that 125% or 150% will help without completely using up the space needed for the task pane (if that's an issue).

Try this, Open the Control Panel (Start menu), open the "Mouse" panel, select the "Pointers" tab, click the "Scheme" box to select a large large scheme that can be easily seen on screen. I like "Windows Inverted (large)" best. Hope this helps in someway. Andre Da Costa Jamaica W.I. > Any idea how to change the colour of the cursor in Word - > ideally to red rather than black.
