I am using the latest version of Indesign.  I have a loaded cursor that I can't unload.  I've tried everything but when I move the cursor over a text box the text box or black box shows up and I can't get rid of it.  I have read and tried everything and I'm about to fire this whole computer right out the window lol.  Any ideas anyyone???

Pressing the ESC key will unload the cursor.

Or maybe your install of InDesign is in need of a reset?
