Default EXT Selection Mode

Hi There,

I have a user who is attempting to use the EXT Selection mode in Word 2003.
When she does F8 and enters the EXT Selection mode all of her toolbars light
up and she is unable to get back into the document and make edits without
coming out of the EXT mode. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

Default EXT Selection Mode

In the Customize Keyboard dialog box, have you verified that F8 is actually
associated with the ExtendSelection command?

User says she is fine now...but I want to know suppose I had verified the F8
thing. What would the next step be?

I'd look for any add-ins newly installed (which could be intercepting the
ExtendSelection command) or for corruption in the Normal template. See also
