1) Check to see if you have sufficient space allocated in [i]page setup[/i] for header and footer.
2) Check to see if you have [i]before[/i] and [i]after[/i] paragraph space enabled in the header and footer.
3) Resolving this problem does [b]not[/b] require [i]repair[/i] of MS Word. The usual reason for cursor transformation into a [i]point[/i] is that you have entered more characters into a cell than the cell can accommodate.
The [i]point[/i] is telling you that you have hidden characters in the cell. Try pressing the [i]Del[/i] key which eats forward characters. If the cursor springs back to its original shape, you have the answer.
4) Send me a sample document with the cursor glitch. I'll investigate it, resolve it, and send you back a [i]fix[/i] with explanation. Simply send me a [i]peer mail[/i] with your e-mail address, I'll contact you, and you can then attach your document by way of reply.

[b][i]teaches[/i][/b] them nothing.
Furthermore, what are the legal ramifications to you, the OP, and TR for your soliciting of what may or may not be company documents?
Additionally, Excel and other spreadsheet apps, along with tables inserted into Word, have [b]cells[/b]. Word does not utilize cells if a table has not been inserted to it. The OP said [b]nothing[/b] about there being a table in the document.
Pay attention.

Any technical question regarding a Word document can run and run until it is settled, with either a solution or not. But the mere suggestion of having the OP send, by Peermail, the offending document is a legal minefield.
What if (and I mean no offence in this) the OP is an Ambulance Chaser and then claims the document that was returned has been tampered with?
What if claims are made months down the line about some form of insider knowledge having been misused for another's benefit?
What if the surgical process then leads to the OP's system crashing due to the adjustments made - don't laugh, it could happen!!
By Nepenthe0's own admission, he runs a computer system on the basis that [b]System Recovery is preferable to running a system with antivirus capability[/b] because he reckons it slows his machine(s) down. What if, just after returning this reformatted document, his system crashes and he has to invoke one of his many system recoveries? The infected document file is already back in the OP's computer!
TechRepublic is a portal for OPs to use that puts them in touch with other users in the form of Peers for the solving of technical system problems. But as long as the contact is maintained SOLELY through that portal, then the 3rd party rule of law applies.
Stray from the 3rd party standpoint and you could easily be in a Court of Law, with TR having to answer for their part in the fray.
Oregon State Bar would have something to talk about over cocktails. ;)

It's an external backup system of some kind.
I can't quite understand how an antivirus system slows a system by any noticeable degree. Obviously a system with antivirus WILL be slightly slower but also a lot safer while online.
Whenever I'm not online, if I'm playing an FPS I can always disable my antivirus.
By the same token CaptBilly1Eye has kicked my @$$ in an online FPS with my antivirus running and the game never slowed down sufficiently for me to see where the Capt was attacking me from!! :^0

practice, practice, practice.
A\V slows down a system based on how much is being actively scanned and often how big files are. A\Vs are not created equal and some tie up a lot more resources than others. Turn off active scanning and you'll probably find it now uses little or no resources. ... but I'm sure you knew dat.
..just had to add my 2?

Zoom up to 500% then return to normal.
The cursor should return to normal too. :)
