Strange Cursor When Using Word

My cursor when using Word has suddenly become a blue, rotating (clockwise), blinking circle instead of the customary vertical, black, blinking line.  This only happens in Word and continues no matter what page I move to while using Word.  I associate the rotating circle with the computer searching for something, a web page, for example.  I do not think the rotating circle in Word, as a cursor, is normal.  Can anyone explain how to solve this issue?

I've searched online for this problem and have run across a number of posts from other people and the answer for them seems to have involved the printer.  Try making another printer the default like the Microsoft Document Writer and see if it still occurs.  If it goes back to normal then try updating your printer driver.
