How do I make the text cursor bigger?

Post by techlady01 »

Hello,
One of my main issues in using OpenOffice is that the text cursor is nothing but a straight line. When it is on the left margin, though it blinks slightly, it's almost invisible. How can I make it bigger or bolder or a color, ANYTHING, to make it more visible?
Thanks.
