Hi, Maria,
Whatever I am in in the User's Guide, it is by default.

By default, if you're in a Braille document, when you route your cursor to
a letter, you will see dots 7 and 8 below it. For example, for the letter
t, which is dots 2-3-4-5, you would see dots 2-3-4-5-7-8, so you would
know the cursor is there. As you write on the unit, you can see this
cursor pattern of dots 7-8 positioned after the last letter you typed. In
text documents, the default cursor pattern is dot 8 only, so, for example,
with the letter t, you would see dots 2-3-4-5-8 when you routed your
cursor to that letter. You can change the cursor shape for both standard
Braille (Grades I/II) and Computer Braille (they are two separate settings
but in the same list) if you wish in the Options Menu>Braille Display
Options (press [SPACE with O], [FUNCTION with O], then B, then scroll, and
the help system will provide you with your options).
The only reason I would think that using a touch cursor button would not
result in the appearance of the cursor would be if you were in Reading
Mode. However, a document should always open by default in Automatic
Mode, which is what you'll find convenient in most situations. Read all
subtopics of "Braille Display Modes Topics" in the index of the manual for
info about the various modes. Anyway, if you happen to be in Reading
Mode, where the cursor would not show even if you routed it, pressing the
combination of the PREVIOUS with NEXT thumb keys toggles the four
available modes--Automatic, Editing, Layout, and Reading--modes, with the
first press displaying the current mode (meaning only the second press
changes you to the next mode). If you somehow ended up getting into
Reading mode, put yourself into, for instance, Automatic mode, and it
should work then.
HTH,
Maria
