MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The new Character Windows (CW) interface of Word for MS-DOS uses a blinking underscore to display the text insertion point.

To get a block cursor to appear on the screen, perform the following steps:


 * 1) From the View menu, select Preferences (ALT, V, E) and then choose Colors (ALT+C).
 * 2) In the “Color Set” list box, select LCD.

The LCD color set option will change the screen colors to white text on a black background with a block cursor. Selecting a color for an item in the “Things to Color” list box will cause the LCD color set to no longer be in effect. As a result of selecting a color, the cursor will become an underscore again.
