In Word 2003 I want to select a vertical block, (using alt and drag with
mouse) as I have in previous versions of Word, but it usually, when I release
the mouse button, my selection is released, and the research pane appears.
How do I get around this double use of alt and click?

Hi DaleZ

I think it's all in the niceties of the technique. If I do this, it works
OK:
- Hold down Alt
- Click-and-drag (after you click, don't let go of the button before you
move the mouse!)
- Let go of the mouse
- Let go of the Alt.

Hope this helps.
