Can't left click and highlight in Word 2007 document
I lost some mouse function in Word 2007. I can open a document but cannot
place cursor anywhere. I can move the "I" bar around but when I left click nothing happens. Can't right click in a document either. All functions of mouse work in all other applications. Also, I can't click and navigate around in "Word Options" dialog box or "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" pull down boxes either. Re-starting Word does not help and Re-booting computer does not help either. I'm running Vista business on Dell workstation. Using Microsoft Natural Laser Mouse 6000. Been using Word 2007 for some time with no problem until now. Anybody have any ideas. |

Are all the features under the tabs grayed out as well?

No they are not. Word crashes and re-starts quite often when I try to close
the application. Also seems to run slow and I get "not responding" messages briefly quite often.

Can't left click and highlight in Word 2007 document

I am also having this issue even after rebuilding my computer from scratch. I
think it may be a conflict with one of the Windows updates. "Coupon100" wrote: I am getting exactly the same thing out of my Word 2007 on Vista.
