MS word question.

[JVS]

I am using a new computer at my office. It's a mac with MS word. For some reason the cursor disappears when I start typing and to get it back, I have to click on page or press an arrow. It won't stay put and blink while I go check on my notes. Is there any way to change the settings to bring it back. I know it sounds minor, but this is annoying as hell. Especially when outlining stuff.

1. i'm looking...I think there is...

my cursor is blinking...

let me see if I can find it...I don't think I'm imagining that I've seen that setting in Word.

2. although, if you click off the page to another window or something like that...

you wont see the cursor.

5. I was looking for the cursor commands and only found one

If you click on the "ribbon" button (as if you were going to start a new document) at the bottom there is a square labeled "Word Options." Then down to the left there are a few choices. If you click "Advanced" You'll get a bunch of choices on the right. I have "Use smart cursoring" checked, and it's fine for me.

The other thing you might want to check is the mouse settings in your Control Panel (though I would think this would be an issue if you had the problem with all your programs and not just MS Word).
