Re: Pointer disappears when moving to right off of document - Update



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.
