Test selection using the mouse
When I use Word 2007, it does not allow me to slect text by clicking the left
button or selecting with a tap in the text. I was wondering if there wasa setting that I had changed unknowingly or somethign of the sort. I am able to use the mouse every where but in the document itself. It still changes through it icon presentations as I drag over the document but never lets me actually interact wiht the document. Any hepl would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks |

Is this a sudden problem (i.e., was it working before but now it's stopped)?
If it was working previously, have you rebooted since the problem occurred? I encountered something very similar to what you describe yesterday, but it was resolved when I rebooted. I've no idea why the problem occurred. If this is NOT your problem, I've seen reports that an add-in called OfficePrintAddIn (Flash Paper) is causing similar problems to what you've reported. If you have that add-in, try turning it off to see if it fixes the problem. (Office - Word Options - Add-Ins - Manage=COM Add-Ins; click Go.) If you don't have that add-in, you might try turning others off to see if any give relief. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Test selection using the mouse
It is not a restart issue, I wish it was that easy!!! lol.
I tired the second, however the only thing in the options I can select is in the Populare section. It will not let me select any of the other options. Also every time I stazrt Word it says the propgram is not responding ansd then it will snap too. I am just really confuse on this whole process and really it renders the program useless to me. In powerpoint the funciton is still operational. Thanks for your attempt to help!! Much appreciated.

Test selection using the mouse
Another thread indicates there is a problem with an Add-in for Snagit, a
screen capture program. Sure enough, I disabled the add-in and the problem went away. To do this, I could not get into the Word Add-In manager for the reason you give below. But in Vista, you go to Control Panel, Programs and Features, choose the program with the add-in, right click to change and if the program is well behaved it will give you a chance to remove the add in for that program. Snagit's routine is well behaved and did allow me to remove it as an add-in. From the other thread, I suspect that there are other add-ins that cause this problem.
