Sounds like either a video card problem or low system resources. Try going into your Windows Display Properties and lowering your hardware/graphics acceleration....I believe this is a Windows problem and not a Word problem...but I could be wrong. Linda F.

Using W98SE and Word 97. I normally set my documents at "Page Layout" and 75% when working on them. When I work on any document the cursor is only visible when on the left open space, on the document, or within the "move up-down" box on the screens far right side. When on the screens right, open space it disappears? Way back when? it was not this way. The cursor was visible all over the work-space. Any idea why it has disappeared from the right, open space. I find this annoying when I need to move the document up or down and the cursor disappears until I get it into the up/down box.
