Disappearing cursor from word 2008.

[applesupergeek]

Anyone come across this? I 've been having it a lot recently on my imac, not my pbook though, and I can't seem to find how to fix it... very strange behaviour, as soon as you start writing the cursor vanishes...make for some very hard writing I tell you...

Well, that's ms, they might even have it as an option somewhere that I cannot find...

I believe its by default so it doesn't confuse you while typing.

Omg, is it? Thanks for that, it's confusing me so much that it isn't there...

Anyway to turn it back on?

My cursor remains visible when typing. Perhaps you need to replace Word's plist file.

No, I believe it's

HD/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/com.microsoft.Word.prefs.plist

as posted above.

There's a Microsoft Folder in Preferences. (OS 10.5.8)

Maybe you typed that path in. (?) I didn't. I go to the folder, grab the plist file and drag it into the posting window. That provides the path. I "enhance" it and change my UserName.
