I am having the same problem in Excel 2007. All of a sudden this evening my
cusor has changed to a large white cross. It has always been an arrow,
whether selcting a cell or moving from cell to cell. There has to be an
option somewhere. But I can't see anything in customizing.

If you mean a fat white cross, that is normal cursor when within the cells
section of a worksheet window.

The pointer arrow only shows when you move off that area.

While working on an Excel spreadsheet, I noticed that my cursor had changed
from a "pointer arrow" to a "plus sign". What does this signify, and how do
I get back to the "pointer arrow"?
