All I can say is that I use Alt+drag to column select regularly, and it
never pops up the Research pane.

I have only one user that has a problem...
If he selects the first vertical line of characters in a paragraph with an
alt- drag it then pops up the research pane.....
He learnt it from Visual studio, just selecting what is in the selected
area
not whole lines..
Would be good if there is a way to turn off

cheers

I don't have a problem with Alt+Drag. Just be careful to maintain
pressure
on the mouse button so that it doesn't register a click.

Hello.
Does anyone know how to disable the research pane from showing when you
alt
drag?
So far I have not been able to find out except how to disable it going
to
remote sites but how do you stop it showing at all??

thanks
