Safe Mode starts Word in its default install mode bypassing all
customisations, macros, templates and third party add-ins. So it suggests
that you have installed a utility which has placed an add-in in Word and it
is incompatible. You need to find it and then either get a compatible update
or remove it.

I did this and it added a pointer line, but the mouse does not work. I
can't
select anything on the document to highlight, delete or format.

Since installing Office 2007, when opening an 2003 or 2007 document
the
mouse
pointer does not work. To select anything on the document you must
use
the
keyboard arrow key and then hold shift to select any thing on the
document.
How do we fix this?
