I-beam You may already be familiar with the Macintosh word processing I-beam (pronounced eye-beam). It looks like this (or very similar): The tiny crossbar just below the center of the I-beam indicates the "baseline" of type, the invisible line that type sits upon.On the Mac, the I-beam is a visual clue that you are now in a typing mode, as opposed to seeing an arrow or a crosshair or any number of other "cursors" that appear in various applications.The I-beam is simply another pointer. And just like the pointer, it doesn't do anything until you click it or press-and-drag it.
