Default How can I stop the cursor from highlighting text when moved?

MammaMeP,
Difficult to say but maybe you have selection extension on, on the statusbar
at the bottom of the screen there are four items which are usually greyed
out (they are related to keep track of changes, macro recording, selection,
and switching between inserting and overtyping text, one of them the third
from the left lets you extend a selection by clicking in the text. It the
text on the item is in black then it is active, double click on it to
disable.
If that does not help, or I misunderstood the question, report back.

I did something, saw the word "stick" - briefly - and now the text is
highlighted from the bottom of the page to wherever I put the cursor. How
do
I stop this? I can't do anything but add to the bottom of the page or I
affect all the rest of my document.
