MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / July 2006Can't see my blinking cursor in 2007
Don't know where to ask this ... I am trying out 2007 and Vista The combination of the two along with the fact that I like to have text boundaries showing makes it nearly impossible to see the blinking keyboard curser when it is along the left margin. It is almost invisible unless you look really carefully. And I can't see anywhere to darken it, make it bolder or change its color. In WordPerfect you can change the shape of it to see it better. Any ideas? It's a bug in Beta 2 that the text boudary hides the cursor on some machines, and MS knows about it. It doesn't depend on Vista -- I see the same thing on WinXP.

I'm glad they see it as a bug and not a feature so there's hope of a fix. Till then I'll have to look really close. >> Don't know where to ask this ... >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> WordPerfect you can change the shape of it to see it better. Any >> ideas? It would also be cool if there was a feature you could use with keyboard shortcuts to show you where it is, like you can with the pointer (pressing control key and releasing it, if the option is enabled in tools, gives you the flashing "bullseye").

Hi Virg, You can sort of 'cheat' this one now to see a bigger 'target' of where the cursor is hiding. :) If you double click the mouse while you're in a text area of a Word document it should select (highlight) the nearsest word so you can see where the cursor is. You can also use Shft+left or right arrow to select, highlight a character. ==== It would also be cool if there was a feature you could use with keyboard shortcuts to show you where it is, like you can with the pointer (pressing control key and releasing it, if the option is enabled in tools, gives you the flashing "bullseye").
