From: Hank on 24 Mar 2010 10:52 In addition to the heavy vertical line of the insertion point, a light I beam also appears. It wanders around in the window, sometimes going up into the ribbon, where it causes unwanted changes that I have to correct. How can I correct this problem? Thanks much

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 24 Mar 2010 22:34 The I-beam is usually the representation of your mouse pointer when it's in a text area. It should change to an arrow when it's over a menu or toolbar, though. -- Suzanne S.
