KUDOS to you Solderman57! Your workaround worked in my Microsoft Office Word 2010 document (running in Windows 10). I know that your workaround of pressing ESC (escape) to return to an insertion cursor after your insertion cursor spontaneously changes to a grabbing hand cursor was posted in 2011, but ESC worked for me in 2016 also! I had never had this spontaneous cursor changing problem until one of the recent Windows 10 updates caused the problem to appear in my Microsoft Office Word 2010 documents. Prior to using your suggested ESC option, I had to save my document, close it and reopen it to get the insertion cursor back. This spontaneous cursor changing should not happen in a professional product and should have been fixed by now -- years later. Happened here too and I've spent the last 2 hours trying to undo this.

It showed up on my computer without warning. I hate it and it won't go away. I have tried resetting the cursor preferences and every other suggestion Mr.

Google and the tech world has suggested and NOTHING GETS THAT OBNOXIOUS HAND OFF!! Not only that, but the stupid thing flickers and won't go away.

Disappearing Cursor in Word for Mac 2011 My cursor is disappearing in some of my Word for Mac 2011 documents. It is fine at first, but at some point it disappears and does not come back. Jul 15, 2017  I cannot get rid of the hand cursor in Microsoft Word for Mac version 15.31. Technician's Assistant. When bringing up microsoft word I cannot get back to a default setting that automatically brings up a blank page. The color circle appears everytime the cursor is in the page.

It's across all my activities. Word, different browsers etc. I've disabled every extension and add on, gone to different programs etc.

Without luck. Windows 10. Any suggestions are MOST WELCOME!!
