= SUMMARY =

The blinking mouse cursor in text mode cannot be modified so that it blinks at a different rate or does not blink at all. This is a hardware cursor. Word restores the blink rate-per-second despite any modifications made outside of Word.

Word 5.00 does not support a blinking cursor in text mode.

Word version 5.50 DOES support the blinking cursor in text mode. However, the blink rate-per-second (speed) cannot be changed, and the blinking cannot be stopped.
