Text Position Indicator The Text Position Indicator is a small vertical line that indicates that a Text Entry Area is ready to accept text at a certain position. The Text Position Indicator can be positioned by the mouse pointer in any text location of a Text Entry Area. In Standard Search mode, for example, when the Search Window is activated, the Text Position Indicator is positioned in the Text Entry Area, indicating that you may key in words or numbers from the keyboard.
