Word 2007 insertion point problem
Working in Word, all of a sudden when I want to edit a sentence, I move my
mouse to move the insertion point before a word or sentence I want to hightlight/ select and then cut, the pointer does not move. When I then move the pointer using the arrow buttons, I try and select the word by clicking the left mouse button and holding it down to move across the word, nothing happens. I must have turned something off by accident. Help! |

Word 2007 insertion point problem
As Jay Fredman wrote on August 15 in a thread called "mousin' around,"
"Go to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=940791 and click the FixIt button, then follow the instructions. That should do it. "The problem seems to be corruption of a particular registry entry when Word is open during an update. The button will delete the corrupted entry, and then restarting Word will build a new entry from the factory settings in the program. " If you have Windows / Office set to do automatic updates at 3 am, you should remember to close Word each night.

Word 2007 insertion point problem
I usually get notification when I boot up in the morning. I agree to the
updates I want, and they are downloaded in the background over the course of the day (or sometimes several subsequent days). I am not aware of the progress until I get notice that updates are ready to be installed. Often I'm not notified at all; instead, Windows installs them when I shut down (unless I opt out). -- Suzanne S.

If it does them at 3 am, it doesn't interfere with work time. They shouldn't interfere at all unless a reboot is required (when 30 seconds to restart the computer at a time of your choosing is all the only interruption), and most updates don't require a reboot. Downloading and applying updates is a background task. It is only those that do require a reboot that cause the problems encountered. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
