My cursor seems to be "broken" in the print layout (normal in other layouts).
It occupies only half the line size. How do I get it back to the original
size? Thanks
 
Try switching to 500% Zoom and back.

Works !!!! This is an unreal problem, the answer is simple but only if you
checked here. Nothing I could find in word could help me Thank You !!!!!!
 
The zoom worked, but I have to do it every time I open a file or even when i
create a new word file. Can I change something in the settings to make it
stop "breaking" the cursor every single time?
 
If anybody knew, we'd have told you! Nobody has figured out what causes it,
only this workaround.

If it is breaking every time, create two macros in normal.dot (or add the
two lines to existing macros of the same names)

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 500
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End Sub
Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 500
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End Sub

This will force the update each time you open a document or create a new
one.
You can change the second zoom percentage to something other than 100 if you
prefer.
