1) A cursor is the position indicator on a computer display screen where a user can enter text. In an operating system with a graphical user interface (GUI), the cursor is also a visible and moving pointer that the user controls with a mouse, touch pad, or similar input device. The user uses the pointing cursor and special input buttons to establish where the position indicator cursor will be or to select a particular program to run or file to view. Typically, the pointing cursor is an arrow and the text entry position cursor is a blinking underscore or vertical bar. Most operating systems allow the user to choose another appearance for the cursor.
In the Windows operating system, the pointing cursor turns into a small pointing-hand image when it moves or hovers over a specific object. This is commonly the case when the cursor passes over a text or image link on a Web page. The cursor changes into an hourglass image while the system is launching a requested program, or while a Web page is loading after the user has clicked on a link.
2) In some database programs, the term cursor is an acronym that stands for current set of records. When a group of records is selected, that group is called the current set. Selection is usually done using the pointing device, although the keyboard shift and arrow keys can also be used in some programs.

Lesson 2: Using the Insertion Point

Introduction
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Use the insertion point
The insertion point
The insertion point—also called a cursor—is the blinking line in your document that indicates where text is inserted when you type. There are several ways to move an insertion point.
The I-beam shows where your mouse pointer is. The blinking insertion point shows where your next word will be once you start typing.
When you are in a Word document, your pointer changes from an arrow (
Once the pointer leaves the Word document to perform a Windows function, it changes back into an arrow (
Notice the line that indicates the end of your document. You cannot move your insertion point below this line.
Moving the insertion point
To move the insertion point:
- Use your mouse to move your insertion point anywhere within the document. Move your mouse until the I-beam is where you want your insertion point to be and click.
OR
- Use your arrow keys to move your insertion point up, down, left, or right. These movements move your insertion point one space or line at a time. This method is especially useful if you only need to move a few spaces or lines back in a document to
make a correction.
OR
- Hold the Control key and press the up or down arrow keys to jump up or down a paragraph at a time.
OR
- Press Page Down (PgDn) to jump down the document one window at a time.
Challenge!
- Notice the insertion point at the beginning of the document.
- Using the methods described in this lesson, test the insertion point's ability to move.
