I need to change the pointer to an Hourglass in Word 97 2

[TimSzrejter]

I need help changing the pointer to an Hourglass symbol in word 97 through code, while some VBA code execution is taking place. The processing of the document may take awhile and I don't want the user to see just a pointer and a blank screen. Will change back to pointer at end of code.

Thanks,
Timothy Szrejter

You need to use the system.cursor property.

Example:

For i = 1 To 9999
System.Cursor = wdCursorWait
Next i

System.Cursor = wdCursorNormal
