Subject: Mouse Pointer lost with Word for Dos

Has anyone else run into this situation?

I have both Word 5.0b and 5.5 on my 386 with OS/2 EE 1.3.
My logitech c7 mouse is setup in os/2 as a visi-on on com1.
   The mouse works in both DOS and os/2 modes fine...except
   when I run wither copy of WORD as an OS/2 application.

   With the screen options set as a graphics screen (under word)
    the mouse pointer dissapears.

   However, if I run WORD under the DOS box, in graphics modes,
    The pointer works fine.

My display hardware is true blue IBM VGA adapter/display.

BTW, the word display modes seem to change between DOS and OS/2.
     Graphics 25x80 in DOS loads as Graphics 60x80 in OS/2.
