When I had the problem the cursor would behave OK at the start and then show itself during a typing session.
When I applied the zoom in zoom out trick it rectified itself and it didn't reappear on saving and retrieving (if my memory serves me right).
I posted my first contribution to this thread on the 9th June and while I continued to get the problem for a couple of weeks afterwards, it hasn't occurred recently.
At the moment it's well behaved and I can't reproduce the fault. The only thing I've done since I last saw the fault has been to update my Windows XP
But I haven't updated Word recently.

It used to be quite a bit larger than the letters, and now it has been cut basically in half.  I get confused when I go to pick the sizes of my fonts.  Does anybody know how to fix this problem?  I would really appreciate any help you all can give!....
