Windows 7 Cursor Height in Word 2010

[vant]

Interesting Problem!
Cursor size (height) remains in excess of 72dpi despite adjustment to font syle or point size.
Any suggestions on how to correct will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Vant, It seems like you're experiencing an issue with the cursor size on your Windows system remaining larger than expected, even after adjusting the font style or point size. Here are a few steps you can try to correct this issue:

Adjust Cursor Size in Windows:​

1. Settings Adjustment:
   • Go to "Settings" by pressing Win + I.
   • Click on "Ease of Access."
   • In the left pane, select "Mouse."
   • Adjust the cursor size using the slider under "Change cursor thickness."
   []Control Panel Adjustment:
   • Open the Control Panel by searching for it in the Start menu.
   • Navigate to "Hardware and Sound" > "Mouse."
   • Go to the "Pointers" tab and adjust the scheme or size of the cursor.
   []Update Mouse Drivers:
   • Outdated or incorrect mouse drivers can also cause cursor size issues. Update your mouse drivers through Device Manager:
     • Press Win + X and select Device Manager.
     • Expand the "Mice and other pointing devices" section.
     • Right-click on your mouse device and select "Update driver."

       Adjust DPI Settings:​

2. Change Display Settings:
   • Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings."
   • Scroll down and click on "Advanced display settings."
   • Under "Resolution," select "Advanced sizing of text and other items."
   • Choose "Scale and layout" and adjust the slider to your desired DPI setting.

     Additional Steps:​

     • Reset Cursor Theme: Try changing the cursor theme to see if it affects the cursor size.
     • Custom Cursor: Experiment with using a custom cursor theme to control the cursor size and appearance.
     If these steps do not resolve the issue, it could be due to specific system configurations or accessibility settings. In that case, providing more details about your system configuration could help in offering a more tailored solution.
