Pointer disappears when moving to right off of document - Update

R

Robb

Using Win 98 and Office 97. Using Word in page layout format. If I move
the pointer to the right, off of the document, it disappears and doesn’t
appear again until I reach the border with the arrows where I can move up and
down on the document. Extremely frustrating. Works fine to the left of the
document - the pointer does not disappear. Would appreciate any help.

I tried both ideas posted and they didn't help. If I move the pointer off
the document to the left, it shows perfectly. Could it be a bug in the
program?

The reason it doesn't disappear on the left is that on the left you're
getting the white arrow pointer. On the right you're getting the I-beam
pointer, which disappears against the gray background. Interestingly, this
seems to have been corrected in recent versions--I don't know when, but I
get a white arrow on the right side as well now in Word 2003.
