making onenote mimick paper - no flashing cursor

[roger]

I really want to make onenote look like paper - bright yellow backgound,
ruler lines & margin (yes this is there) and a blank screen with no mouse &
no edit flashing cursor.

I can make a 1 pixel mouse image to get rid of the mouse but not the edit
blinking cursor [setting of bling rate in control panel KEYBOARD] - the mouse
stuff is under MOUSE

Any ideas

Hello Roger,

You can hide the pointer while typing by following the directions at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/accessibility/hidepointer.mspx

You may be able to edit a cursor file and reduce the cursor to nothing - one
article telling about how to do this is at
http://help.lockergnome.com/office/Hide-mouse-pointer-Kiosk-mode-ftopict462706.html.
I did not try this myself, and recommend backing everything up first before
editing these files.

Good luck!

John,

Thanks for the reply - the tips deal with the 'mouse' cursor but I'm trying
to eliminate the 'keyboard' cursor. The vertical line positioned at where the
text starts which flashes [at a speed controlled under keyboard under control
panel].

This is the one I want to suppress so that the screen looks just like paper
[NOTHING flashing]

Any ideas?

Honestly I don't think you can. What OS are you using? (Vista? XP?)
