Is there a "Cursor radar" for MS Word that is similar to Window's "mouse radar"
Windows 10 has a "mouse radar" feature that I like: I click on the control key and concentric circles "zooms in" on the mouse.
Does anybody know if there is a "cursor radar" that will do the same thing for the MS Word cursor which marks the insertion point? (I am using MS Word 2010, but I will give points for any version.)
In the past I once assigned a macro to Control Alt R. But that approach was pretty ugly and I eventually abandoned it.
The macro was something like this.

Selection.TypeText "O"
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Font.Size = 15
Selection.Font.Size = 30
Selection.Font.Size = 40

nobus: It is standard windows, although there might be some mice that do not support it. google for < ctrl mouse location >.
(It turns out "mouse radar" is not the normal description of this feature. In fact, I might be the only person that ever called it that.)

I boosted the priority of this question, but I do not think anybody will be able to answer it.
If no one does, I will close the question on Friday.

Another suggestion I read was to hold down shift and press an arrow key, which should highlight some text to make it more visible.
That was too easy and almost perfect. Thanks
do you use any application for it ?
