      aussievic0 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  normal module, you can call it from the Workbook_Open event in Thisworkbook in your personal macro workbook.
