The Alt+Click shortcut for the research pane is non-configurable. It does,
however, not stop you using Alt to precisely drag. Press Alt and press *and
hold* the mouse button and you can carry on as before.

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.
