Hi Cindy,
If you were in Outline view when you clicked you will not see the
problem. Let me lay it out by steps:
Step 1: Compose some text that includes several level 1 outline headers,
say, for example, headers from "Chapter 1" through "Chapter 10".
Step 2: Switch to edit mode and compose some text under "Chapter 1"
Step 3: Switch to outline mode (with only outline headers visible) and click
on the "Chapter 10" header. (This places the cursor on the Chapter 10
header.)
Step 4: Switch back to edit mode and hit any key to start editing. This is
where my cursor in Word 2007 stays back in the Chapter 1 area and will not
move to the Chapter 10 location I wish to move to.
Missing this feature, Word 2007 is useless for me. I must continue to use
Word 2003 on my laptop instead of on my new Dell Vista desktop where the 2007
version is installed.
By the way, a Dell technician in Manila repeated these steps with me in a
phone consultation and had the same problem in his Word 2007.
Thanks for responding and looking into this.

Hi ?B?TWlrZS1vbi1IdWRzb24=?=,
I am using Word 2007 under Vista Ultimate. Say I'm working on Chapter 1 and
wish to relocate to Chapter 10. I collapse to outlining mode, click on the
Chapter 10 outline header. In any past version of Word (I've been using Word
since the 1980s), the cursor will relocate to Chapter 10 as soon as 1) you
return to regular edit mode and b) touch a key. I believe this is a default
behavior not controlled by any settings -- i.e. a bug in Word 2007. What to
do?
I don't see the problem you describe. If I click in the Outline view, the
cursor moves to that position and stays there.
