1: In any document, hold down Ctrl, Alt and +.
2: Use Ctrl, Alt and + to deactivate (a screen may popup, just close it).
Displays a clover leaf-like cursor, as in Word 95.
To return the cursor back to the original shape, press ESC key (yes, some times, pressing the Easter egg key combo also disables it, but that's pretty random, ESC always works). -- Cyberknight, Jul 9 2010 4:33PM
Control + Alt + plus signal from the main keyboard = plus shaped cursor. Control + Alt + minus signal from the main keyboard = minus shaped cursor. Control + Alt + plus signal from the numeric keypad = "clover" cursor (it's the Place of Interest sign, Unicode 2318) -- Cyberknight, Jul 9 2010 4:28PM
Using the numpad + sign yields the Mac-esque cursor, while using the + and - keys next to the backspace key yields the large + and - cursors. -- Diarrg, Mar 24 2008 9:06AM
The cursor that appears in word 2003 looks like the symbol you can find on older mac keyboards (this key on older mac keyboards is equivalent to the apple on newer keyboards) -- A. Nani Mouse, Jan 19 2008 9:55PM

It works in Word 20003, but it's just a simple + sign cursor -- Nerketur, May 5 2007 8:09PM
CTRL + Q to get rid of the cursor. -- Jack, Feb 11 2007 2:45PM
