My pointers are set in Windows, not office.

If I pull up my old XP machine, off in the Control Panel I can find the Mouse properties and the Pointers Tab.

See http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/05/install-aero-cursor-scheme-in-windows-xp/

These pointers and cursors are not Office specific and can change with the version of Windows as well as the user customization.

This is probably why you could not find what you are looking for.

Tip? I found the mouse could disappear in the grey area off the page in Word and for years would change the mouse pointer so it would show up. Do you remember that one?
