The problem occurs under any front and any zoom I am using.
I just updated Office 365 to the latest version (1701) before posting this question and the problem still remains

It is really so difficult to make this damn cursor show whatever the zoom I select?
COME on you people there in Microsoft! You solved more difficult cases than this....

Agreed. I did find that if I click on a NON-MICROSOFT program window and go back to Word, I get the cursor back. Unfortunately it disappears shortly thereafter again.
Beside the disappearing Cursor, I am also experiencing bizarre window sizes opening two screens wide on a single screen, not even close to where the second monitor is. I am guessing it's something with a program change that the video can't interpret or the program itself is misreading.
If I was still supporting Fortune 100 executives, I can't imagine what I'd do! There's no valid work around that doesn't negatively impact productivity.
Its ridiculous that we have to do it but you can get the cursor back by closing all office products and reopening your word document. I found this after having the issue on a surface pro 4 with Windows 10 and office 2016 with a 27 inch hp monitor. None of the solutions posted worked. I did not reboot because that changes too many things and I would like to isolate the issue.
I had an instance of Excel open that I closed. I cannot replicate the issue on demand (I did not try very hard).
Are you using the touch mode for Office?
Another thing that I did was to disable it. Seemed to causes some issues as well.
