I use word 2000, for amongst other things, drawing basic electrical schematics and the like. ( i know i should be using cad but it boggles me).

is there a way of creating a bigger drawing crosshair, i.e. full screen/window.
I have tried things like icon/image forge etc in the past, but the biggest cursor i could create was 64x64 pixels, which is not much bigger than i already have.

thanks,

mj.

Change the mouse cursor 'Precision select' pointer in control panel to something you've made, maybe Word will use this.

bio,

thanks, but this was the route i have been down already. the problem i have is i cannot create a cursor bigger than 64x64 pixels.

MJ,

CAD shouldn't boggle anyone;) just get someone to spend 1/2hr showing you the basics.

Alternatively if you just want schematics try Visio.

I'd also say take a look at Visio (that is now Microsoft Visio :(), as it works a treat can comes with quite a few stencils for EE jobs.
