I am running into an eye-ball problem. When I switch from design to split
view or code view I am having trouble picking out the cursor from some very
busy code. My usual fix on some other editors was to make the cursor blink.

Is this possible? I run Expression Web v2.

Thanks,
Tom Miller

Not a blinking cursor, but highlight a word in design view and the same area will be highlighted in code view.

I see that but in a very busy set of code, I am having trouble seeing the
same thing that I highlighted in the design view.

Thanks,

Thank you Tina. I just got done playing with the accessiblity menu in
XP/Pro and now the cursor blinks and is 3 characters wide. I think I going
to narrow it back down. It feels like I am typing with a thimble in front
of me.
