making onenote mimick paper - no flashing cursor   
I really want to make onenote look like paper - bright yellow backgound, 
ruler lines & margin (yes this is there) and a blank screen with no mouse & 
no edit flashing cursor.

I can make a 1 pixel mouse image to get rid of the mouse but not the edit 
blinking cursor [setting of bling rate in control panel KEYBOARD] - the mouse 
stuff is under MOUSE

Any ideas

Hello Roger,

You can hide the pointer while typing by following the directions at 
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/accessibility/hidepointer.mspx

You may be able to edit a cursor file and reduce the cursor to nothing - one 
article telling about how to do this is at 
http://help.lockergnome.com/office/Hide-mouse-pointer-Kiosk-mode-ftopict462706.html. 
 I did not try this myself, and recommend backing everything up first before 
editing these files.

Good luck!

RE: making onenote mimick paper - no flashing cursor   
John,

Thanks for the reply - the tips deal with the 'mouse' cursor but I'm trying 
to eliminate the 'keyboard' cursor. The vertical line positioned at where the 
text starts which flashes [at a speed controlled under keyboard under control 
panel].

This is the one I want to suppress so that the screen looks just like paper 
[NOTHING flashing]

Any ideas?

Roger
