Re: Keeping cursor visible while holding down space bar in Word

Bob,
Thank you once again. You have been so helpful; I readjusted the cursor
thickness, eliminated the blink and tried spacing in Word with the new
settings and I am easily able to keep track of its whereabouts--yea! Thanks
again!
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

For Windows Vista the 'Ease of Access Center' has separated the size of cursor and cursor blink rate into separate dialogs. The
setting for 'None' for cursor blink rate is under
'Make the Keyboard Easier to use=>Keyboard Settings.

In the 'Keyboard properties' dialog on the 'Speed' tab it's the lower left slider position.

You may want to also check the Vista Accessibility tutorials at
http://microsoft.com/enable
for other settings for the display that may be helpful to you.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the great help! I was able to thicken the cursor and it did
help a little bit in Word "print layout" view. I'm using Windows Vista and
couldn't readily locate a choice of "none" for the blinking rate; however, in
Word "draft" view, as you indicated, the cursor stops blinking and remains
visible when moving due to holding down the spacebar. This is a terrific
help. Thanks so much!

Best Regards,
