Unable to use the mouse within the document
For the past several months I have been unable to use my mouse within the
document itself. This includes clicking words, clicking on a different spot to move the cursor away, right-clicking for spelling/grammatical errors, double-clicking to highlight, moving text boxes, etc. Also, Microsoft 2007 has the unique feature of showing how text will look with a certain size or font when scrolling through the size/font selection before actually selecting whatever format you choose. This no longer works either. Everytime I close Word I get the following message: "Microsoft Office has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem." It checks for possible solutions, then comes up with " a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Only once throughout the last couple of months has it come up with an update, which did not work. None of the updates seem to have any effect, and it does not appear to be a virus since I have used the same files on different computers through a thumbdrive and they have not been affected. A few weeks ago, this randomly stopped happening and everything was fine for about a week or so before it went back to not working. The first time it happened was around May/June, and it started working again around late June. In early August the problem came back and, apart from the one week when it disappeared, it has been there ever since. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? How can I get rid of this problem and prevent it from coming back? Thanks, Coco |
