An annoying pattern of stripes hovers over my curser

[livia]

My curser has a small rectangular pattern of stripes that follows it about.
Sometimes it goes away, but it always comes back. It has only happened since
I got windows XP Home.

It's not an Office issue. My guess is that you don't have the correct video
drivers.

Are you referring to a small group of lines, long short long short either to
the left, right or below the I-beam cursor? If so, you are seeing the Click
and Type feature.

See: http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/05/15/597983.aspx for

Check the cursor properties/settings. You might be seeing the effect where
there seems like there are many shadows of the cursor following each other.
This could look stripes.

I really don't know much about programs, but hey! I might be right on this
one.

Turn off Pointer Trails in Mouse Properties.
