My cursor/insertion point has changed !

[Guest]

I have always had the standard 'I' insertion point/cursor. Two weeks ago it
changed to a tiny, tiny flashing dot instead of the bar. How do I fix it?
I have tried changing the view from normal to web layout to print layout.
Sometimes that works to change it back but only temporarily. Other times
changing the view doesn't help at all.

I can not see the small dot most of the time so I am really slowed down
working. I have search for cursor and insertion point in MS help files but
found nothing.

Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

If this is Word 2003, it is a known bug. To fix it, change the zoom (to
500%, say) and then change it back to the desired value. Repeat as needed.

If you add the lines

With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
'.Type = wdNormalView 'alternative line for normal view
.Zoom.Percentage = 500
.Zoom.Percentage = 100 'your preferred zoom
End With

to both an autoopen and an autonew macro in normal.dot it should never
appear again
