Sometimes it seems to work OK. I think I need to hold the mouse button
down, and then release it before I release the Alt button, or something.
It's mostly an annoyance, like the Help column popping up each time I open
Word, or that Help looks online first, and that I don't seem to have a way
to change either of those behaviors. As is so often the case the problem is
not the features, but their intrusiveness.

For me, it is still working fine. Using Office 2003 and Research is
installed. After reading your post i tried it and it works fine. Maybe
while
selecting and dragging you mistakly click on Words.

I have just learned that after years of pressing the Alt key while
dragging
table borders I have to come up with a new way of doing that because the
Research box pops up now, and that there does not seem to be a way of
getting rid of that. I realize there is no way to change it or to
prevent
it from being installed or anything other than accept the very, very poor
decision to change Word in this way. They truly do not know what other
departments are doing there, do they?
Anyhow, is there an alternative? I have read about various combinations
of
keys and right click or whatever, but I can't find anything that works
without bringing up that accursed box. I'm using Word 2003.
