How to stop cursor blinking in Pages I am using Pages '09 on Mac OSX 10.6 (SnowLeopard) and would like to stop cursor blinking. For TextEdit, this was possible by setting

defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriod 100000


from the Terminal, but this seems to have no effect on Pages. So I would really appreciate any hints or ideas on how to stop cursor blinking.
NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriod is outdated. As of 10.9, OS S now has separate variables for ON and OFF times. 1000 represents one second. The following 2 commands can be used:

defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOn -float 1000


and

defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOff -float 1000


These numbers will set the on blink to 1 second and the off blink to one second (default).
