Can't see my blinking cursor in 2007 "BigK" <bigk[ at ]bellsouth.com> 19.07.2006 16:00:17 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?

Re: Can't see my blinking cursor in 2007 "Jay Freedman" <jay.freedman[ at ]verizon.net> 19.07.2006 19:02:55 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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

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. > > -- > Regards, > Jay Freedman > Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org > Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup > so all may benefit. > > > BigK wrote: >> 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.

Re: Can't see my blinking cursor in 2007 Virg 19.07.2006 22:54:01 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"). -- Virg "BigK" wrote: [Quoted Text] > > "Jay Freedman" <jay.freedman[ at ]verizon.net> wrote in message > news:eZQBzX2qGHA.1140[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > > It's a bug in Beta 2 that the text boudary hides the cursor on some > > machines, and MS knows about it.

Re: Can't see my blinking cursor in 2007 "Bob Buckland ?:-\)" <75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com> 20.07.2006 12:28:20 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. ==== <<"Virg" <Virg[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:836E3BC8-D716-4659-9C6A-4B7528CD6CF2[ at ]microsoft.com...
