Cursor does not appear when opening word document

When i open a word document the cursor does not appear. I must click inside
of the word document in order for the cursor to appear. Normally when you
open a word document new or already created the cursor is already there
blinking. For some reason on this one machine it is not there and i must
click anywhere in the document in order for the cursor to appear so i can
modify, print, etc. Can someone please help me get my cursor back?

If the Word window is not getting the focus (does the title bar indicate
that it is the active window?), the problem could be caused by a poorly
written add-in. I had this problem with By Design Office until I uninstalled
it.
