Cursor size No, I can't because it's not the machine that's setting the cursor. They put the same cursor on whatever machine you're running. The cursor is controlled by software. So, in a case like this, the actual shape of the cursor, the size of the cursor, the color of the cursor are all things that are controlled by Windows. They are not set by Word; they are all controlled by Windows. Get a good monitor There are two approaches you can take to making things more readable. One is to get a better monitor.
Not the computer, just the monitor. Invest in perhaps a larger monitor or a higher quality monitor to help you to be able to see what's on the screen. Adjust monitor settings The other approach is to use (at least in Windows 7) utilities that allow you to increase the size of fonts.

There are several ways to adjust the size of text and items on your screen. I'll discuss the commonly used wrong way and the right way. The HTML font size in a page's encoding can get in the way of things like 'view larger'. There are ways to bypass this bad HTML font size setting.

Shoeburt April 11, 2012 9:21 AM Hi Leo, Ease-of-Access is great. I use the flash-desktop option, as I usually keep my volume low.
I think, however, that the 'mouse' options, accessed through the desktop, or control panel, is the better way to set a mouse pointer/cursor theme. I'm really liking the way you're forming up with your answercasts. Thanx for being there. Comments on this entry are closed.
