Default Word 2003 - selecting lines of text

Hi,

I have just rolled out Office 2003 to our users and a handful are
complaining that selecting lines of text is not working as it should.
Their documents start after a couple of tabs, so they do not start right at
the left side of the document but about a 1/4 of the way in - when they put
their cursor at the beginning of the first word in each line, their cursor
doesn't change to the "arrow" to allow them to select the line of text. The
only way this happens is if they move their cursor to the left hand side of
the document and then they can select the line (does that make sense??).

I tried this myself by opening up a "normal" doc where the left and right
margins are default and sure enough the cursor changes to an arrow at the
beginning of each new line. If I select a paragraph and tab along until the
text starts half way across the page, the cursor will only change if it is
still placed at the far left hand side and not the beginning of the
sentence.

Probably nothing can be done and I just need to "manage my users
expectations" but thought I would ask!!

Thanks.
Mike
