Post subject: Can't move cursor, highlight text in Word

Hi,
One day, I went to highlight some text in my Word 2007 document and it just
didn't work. I clicked on the mouse as normal, but the page acted like I
wasn't clicking on it. Strangely, I can still click on the toolbars and
they'll respond, but I have to use arrow keys to move/highlight text on the
page itself. When I try and click, the cursor acts as if nothing is
happening. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? PP, Excel both
work fine, by the way. |

Dear [whoever],
You've landed in a discussion group for users of Mac versions of Word (not
your fault: it's a charming foible of Microsoft's web interface, which I
guess you used). The Mac OS is very different from Vista. Although several
people here use both PCs and Macs and may give you an answer soon, it's
likely that more people in a PC group have experienced your specific
problem. Here's where all the groups are listed:

follow-on responses to those regions can be delayed)

Greetings,
The problems that FrustratedinFresno encountered are the exact same ones that I encountered today on my new iMac using the new version of Microsoft Word. I cannot highlight more than a word at a time, and that only if I double-click on it. For the past few weeks it has been working fine; this just started. I have an (older) Logitech cordless mouse, but the problem occurred with the Mac mouse too. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry Sylvia, but it can't be the "exact same" because that poster was on a
Windows PC in Office 2007 - you're evidently on a Mac:-)
In order to have someone help you out you need to specify the exact version
of OS X, the exact version of Office/Word. Please submit as a *new* message
with all particulars included... BTW - you've also "hijacked" a thread
that's been dead for six months. It's just out of sheer luck & circumstances
that your message was even noticed:-)
