The cursor in Microsoft Word, often referred to as the insertion point, is a blinking vertical line that indicates where text will be inserted when you type. It moves as you enter or delete text, allowing you to see the current active position in your document. You can also control its position using your mouse or keyboard arrow keys. Additionally, the cursor changes shape depending on the task, such as when highlighting or selecting text.
