How to get my reduced cursor to its original size?

[Cristina]

My cursor has reduced down to a pin dot and I can't get it back to the size
of the font. Any ideas?

Increase zoom to 500% and then back to normal.

Dan, you did the trick! Thank you soooo much! Cristina

I had the same problem and remembered the solution of the ZOOM, but it only
worked on the open document. Each new file gave me a tiny cursor.
Thanks

Not sure if my other reply went through-----
Dan,
I tried this fix--it usually works. However, this time it only works on the
current document. Each new or saved file I open has the small cursor.

This shouldn't be happening - checkout
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm. If all else fails,
you can force the issue with the following lines added to both an autopen
and an autonew macro in normal.dot

With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 500
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With

Where 100 is your normal zoom setting (change as required).
See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

I read it here, of course. <g> It comes up a dozen times/week.
