I also find that if I press Alt and then the mouse button I'm okay as long
as I keep it depressed; it doesn't register as a "click" till you release
it. I did have more trouble than usual with this the other day--thank
goodness I was already online when this happened or Word would have started
trying to phone home, which I find *extremely* maddening (I'm on dial-up).

Hi ?B?YmlyaWJl?=,

Forcing the Alt-Click is really terrible... it prevents Alt-Selection
from
working on a single character!!!! How do you remove the feature -
please for
the love of god help us on this.

I (and others) agree with you that it's a PITA. However, if you first hold
down
the mouse button and THEN hold down ALT, it should work.
