Default How can I stop the cursor from highlighting text when moved?

What Luc is saying is that if EXT on the status bar is black, you can
double-click to turn it off. Alternatively, you can press ESC to cancel this
mode.

MammaMeP,
Difficult to say but maybe you have selection extension on, on the
statusbar at the bottom of the screen there are four items which are
usually greyed out (they are related to keep track of changes, macro
recording, selection, and switching between inserting and overtyping text,
one of them the third from the left lets you extend a selection by
clicking in the text. It the text on the item is in black then it is
active, double click on it to disable.
If that does not help, or I misunderstood the question, report back.

I did something, saw the word "stick" - briefly - and now the text is
highlighted from the bottom of the page to wherever I put the cursor.
How do
I stop this? I can't do anything but add to the bottom of the page or I
affect all the rest of my document.
