Lenovo Mouse & Excel

Question

My cat walked over my keyboard whilst I was in an Excel spreadsheet. Now my mouse pointer is stuck showing a plus sign (+) instead of the normal arrow cursor. This now occurs in all spreadsheets including new ones. Please, what can I do to revert to the arrow cursor?

The default cursor when your mouse moves over the Excel grid *is* a thick plus sign, your cat did nothing to affect that 🙂

JKPieterseDid not realize that as I have only had an Arrow Head which provides better operation for my use. So how do I get back to it?

Repeat - So how do I get back to it? How do I get my arrow back? Jan Karel Pieterse

aussievic0&nbsp;You could run this little VBA routine, but I would not enjoy my Excel being in that state:
Sub ChangePointer()
    Application.Cursor=xlNorthwestArrow
End Sub
If you place that code in a&nbsp; normal module, you can call it from the Workbook_Open event in Thisworkbook in your personal macro workbook.
