Hi there,
Can someone please show me a way to disable the blinking/flashing cursor in Word for Mac (not the mouse pointer)?
I'm on Monterey 12.5 version of Mac OS and Microsoft Word version 16.62.
I have already tried the global methods suggested in other places:
defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOn -float 200 defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOff -float 20 (This method worked in other places such as Notes, Reminders, etc.)
I have also tried Word specific method (from a post dating back to 2011): defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Word NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriod -int 5000
I also tried a modified version of the method assuming the method of changing is changed since then: defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Word NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOn -float 50000 defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Word NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOff -float 5 None of these methods seem to be working in the version of MacOS and Word I have.
I have been wanting to do this ever since I got my laptop back in 2020 December. I used to have a PC where I disabled the blinking. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
