Is there a way to enlarge the cursor in Word? - PandaBear


Posted: Nov 24, 2014

Or at least get rid of that annoying red box? (I never use alt-k).

My eyes keeping following the red box instead of the cursor.  I figure it I can enlarge the cursor it will be easier to find fast.

You should be able to change it (at least the width) in Control Panel. You'll find the settings either in Display or (in my case) Accessibility Options.

That works in my other computer but not my work computer - so weird...

In control panel I can find no way to change the width of the cursor. Oh well. Thanks!

You can ask your TSM to deactivate the Alt-K. There is no way for you to do it on your way. I find it distracts me as well and have had it deactivated. I am faster without it.

HELP With VR Cursor
Jan 30, 2010

Does anyone out there know how to get the voice cursor to move to the word cursor on EditScript.  Mine appears to be stuck at the very beginning of the document I am working on (not in the top header, but in the body).  My ALT keys won't move it, and I can't get it to move in the editing toolbar either. I'd like to know how to dislodge it from the beginning of the body.  Any suggestions would be VERY helpufl!!  Thanks! ...


How To Keep Cursor Where I Put It?
Dec 03, 2011

Help, I forget what to do to keep the cursor where I put it.  It is now going to wherever the dictation is and the doctor said to go back to admitting diagnosis and put something in but the cursor keeps going back to end of page where the dictation is.  I forget what maneuver/keys to click to keep the cursor where I put it.  Thank you. ...


Cursor Question
Jan 27, 2010

Does anyone know if there's a way when you used your control+arrow (lt/rt) key to skip over a word, if there's some way I can arrange it so the cursor ends up at the end at the word instead of at the beginning of the next word?  I find more often it would help if the cursor landed at the end of the word I'm skipping rather than the beginning of the next word.  Too much backspacing throughout the day. Ha, and I'm sure some of you thought I meant to put "c ...


Erratic Cursor
Dec 04, 2010

I am working off a laptop - Dell Inspiron 1520.  It is almost 3 years old now.  For the first 2 years, I did not have this problem but, all of a sudden, I developed this erratic cursor problem.  My hand placement has not changed - and, yes, hands tend to float over the touchpad while typing - that's unavoidable - but, again, did not present a problem for the first 2 years.  Why all of a sudden now?  I will be typing and suddenly the cursor is off in No-Man's-La ...

Slow Cursor...
Oct 02, 2014

Does anyone else have this problem? I can type a few words or a lengthy sentence, but the cursor is super slow and lags behind. Not only that, but the audio will just keep going until the cursor finishes "typing" what I did and will not respond to the foot pedal. Sometimes it can take quite awhile for the cursor to catch up. ...


Got A New MQ PC Today. Cursor Question
Oct 07, 2010

While reviewing a report, I use my right arrow key to follow along and it is moving very slowly and seems to stop at every single letter even with keeping my finger on the arrow button.  Does anyone know how to make the cursor just move and not stop at every letter.  I know you can hit Control plus arrow key to make it go faster, but that speeds it up super fast.  It is a blessing for a new PC as I had a virus, but it is also a curse because you have to set everything up to the ...

Moving Cursor In EXtext
Jan 22, 2015

Hello,  I work for a local cardiology group and we use Nuance with Dragon (EXtext). I was wondering if there is a way to have the cursor move along automatically while I have the foot pedal down so I do not have to take my right hand off the keyboard to move the cursor with the right arrow button. If there is a way that would allow me to cut down on a lot of errors I am making by having to keep moving my right hand from the arrow back to the keyboard.  Thanks   ...


Voice Cursor/red Rectangle In EditScript MT
May 25, 2012

Hi everyone: Is there a way to turn off the voice cursor/red rectangle in EditScript MT - OTHER than the administrator doing it in eMon? I am A.D.D, and it is driving me OUT OF MY MIND! I'm guessing if you don't have A.D.D., then that little red rectangle won't bother you or at least you'll get used to it, but for me (and I'm guessing others like me), I don't see it getting any better. I already have so many distractions in my brain, and I really need that stupid re ...

Nov 07, 2014

Is there a way in AutoCorrect (Word 2010) to change a comma to a period and then cap the next word to make VR go a little faster?  The platform at my old company did this automatically, but MS Word does not : ( This is so frustrating having to change from a comma to a period (or vice versa)--which as you all know happens constantly...and then change the next word to be capitalized (or uncapped)....my wrists are killing me, not to mention it takes so much TIME.....
