Word -Pointer disappears if moved to right off of document

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.

This is an ancient problem that may be resolved by changing the background
window colour using the Display Properties dialog. However, be warned that
this has to be changed carefully or you may find that changing a colour may
cause more problems elsewhere: it is usually best to stick with one of the
selection of default schemes.

The alternative is to change to a different set of mouse pointers (Control
Panel | Mouse | Pointers). There are some schemes that are more visible.
