Any idea what 'smart cursoring' is? It's an automatically ticked option in
the Options dialogue box. I'm finding that occasionally (unpredictably), I
open a Word file to find that my cursor is tiny, and I'd like to change it
back to normal size, and wonder if 'smart cursoring' has anything to do with
this problem.

>From the Word Help file:

Use smart cursoring Specifies that the insertion point moves as you
scroll up or down. When you press the LEFT ARROW, RIGHT ARROW, UP
ARROW, or DOWN ARROW keys, the insertion point responds at the page
currently in view, not at its position prior to scrolling.

Now a question for you. What does your question have to do with VBA?
