Microsoft Word Cursor Disappears While Typing Mac
2016-9-17 Hi, I have the same problem. While typing the 'typing cursor' (this thing ' ') disappears from the text box. It does not move anywhere else on the screen (just disables the typing) I have to re-click the text box with the mouse cursor, which is in text box as it was when I enabled the typing. 2020-3-14 It’s a strange and random problem for many of us Mac users. We work as usual and then all of a sudden the Mac mouse cursor (pointer) disappears, and we’re stuck! To find it, we hunt all over our screen, clicking and wiggling all over the place to just get that darn pointer visible.
Note Microsoft office update mac 14.7.7.

Recently I've been noticing that the pointer of my mouse disappears from the screen. I know that the mouse is working because when I move it an pass by the dock the items amplify, but I can't see the pointer. I've noticed first in certain websites, but when I clicked the mouse it appeared again. Now I've noticed that it did the same in my desktop for no apparent reason.
My mouse is the Apple Magic mouse, and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.4.
Does anyone had a similar problem?
Cheers
