Word 3.x: Temporarily Disabling Mouse

PSS ID Number: Q23126 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

3.x

MS-DOS

Question:

I use my mouse with other applications but would like to be able to disable it before running Word so the mouse cursor is not displayed. Can this be easily done?

Response:

Yes, if you are using a mouse driver Version 6.00 or above. This is done by typing “mouse off” at the DOS prompt before entering Word, and typing “mouse on” after quitting Word to re-enable it.
