Increase the Thickness of Blinking Cursor in Windows Vista
The blinking cursor in Windows Vista may be too thin, small or slim for the eyes of many users. The cursor can be very difficult to find or locate especially when the screen is set to very high resolution at the small monitor or LCD panel. But you can always configure or set the thickness of the blinking cursor to a larger size so that the blinking cursor is easier to see.
To increase the size or thickness of blinking cursor in Windows Vista:
- Click on Vista Start button, and then select Control Panel.
- Select “Ease of Access”.
- On Easy of Access window, click “Optimize Visual Display”.
- Scroll to the section named “Make things on the screen easier to see” located at the bottom of the screen.
- Select a number in the box next to “Set the thickness of the blinking cursor” option. The default value is 1 and the larger the number, the thicker or fatter of the size of the cursor. There is preview available to determine what style fits you best.
- Click Save when done to make the changes effective throughout Windows Vista.

I did this, but it did not change the thickness of the cursor within MS Word. Any ideas on how to change the cursor thickness there?
Thanks.
