I do not find a 'Hide cursor while typing' setting in any of Mac's System preferences/Keyboard Mouse Trackpad or Word's Preferences/General View Edit settings. It looks like Windows has a 'Hide cursor while typing' feature, but that is about the mouse cursor. I hate this cursor-hiding feature in Mac Word. It is especially annoying when trying to use the arrow keys for navigation. The cursor disappears until you wait a bit, but this makes the auto-repeat feature absolutely useless for moving around.
