the same time).

I don't have an email.dot file. Anywhere.

Ok, so where do I go from here?

My mouse is a simple MS wheel mouse optical USB and does not have any
side buttons or anything.

I don't have any mouse utilities and there are no Intellimouse drivers
on the system other than what came with XP.

All the other applications work fine, including Word.
The problem only occurs in Outlook.

So given that Outlook uses its own editor, I guess the problem is there?

Regards

Right--and I should have corrected the misstatement... Even so,
however, Ctrl+Left arrow should skip to the previous word not only
in Outlook and Word, but in just about every Windows application
that displays text. So, if it's not happening, then something is
interfering with the keystrokes.

To add to Herb's reply, please note that Outlook 2007 does NOT use
Word as its email editor. It now uses its own editor which mimics
Word 2007 in many ways but runs in its own dll. Any changes made to
Word's options are not conveyed to the Outlook editor: you need to
set up the options for Outlook separately.

I am using Outlook 2007, which (I am told) is using Word 2007 for
its Compose Email window.

I compose messages in HTML format. Sometimes, in the Compose
window, when I try to do Ctrl + Left Arrow to jump to the previous
word, nothing happens. I have to press Ctrl + Left Arrow several
times for the editor to actually respond.

Is this a problem anyone has seen? I've tried the Outlook NG, but
they sent me here.
