That's a great summary, Larry. And another possibility--play around a little with the pixel dimensions for characters in the Configuration Manager's Cursor Options for Word. Whatever you do, _be sure_ to record the original values so that you can return to them in case things only get worse, but I've found that some judicious alteration of, particularly, the Vertical Caret Dimensions height value (which defaults to 90) can make for some very interesting results. Try reducing this value to 19 for some hard-to-read documents. When you try to save the settings, you'll receive an error message about some value being either larger or smaller than some other one--just ignore this message and save the settings, anyway.
