Can't left click and highlight in Word 2007 document Mel L. 11/28/2008 11:02:05 PM I lost some mouse function in Word 2007. I can open a document but cannot place cursor anywhere. I can move the "I" bar around but when I left click nothing happens. Can't right click in a document either. All functions of mouse work in all other applications. Also, I can't click and navigate around in "Word Options" dialog box or "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" pull down boxes either. Re-starting Word does not help and Re-booting computer does not help either. I'm running Vista business on Dell workstation. Using Microsoft Natural Laser Mouse 6000. Been using Word 2007 for some time with no problem until now. Anybody have any ideas.

RE: Can't left click and highlight in Word 2007 document Emprovision 11/28/2008 11:38:05 PM Are all the features under the tabs grayed out as well? -- If you would like additional help, catch me on the PowerPoint Heaven Discussion Board (www.pptheaven.mvps.org), where I am frequently active.

RE: Can't left click and highlight in Word 2007 document Mel L. 11/28/2008 11:45:00 PM No they are not. Word crashes and re-starts quite often when I try to close the application. Also seems to run slow and I get "not responding" messages briefly quite often.

RE: Can't left click and highlight in Word 2007 document Sajid1975 12/18/2008 2:58:01 PM I am also having this issue even after rebuilding my computer from scratch. I think it may be a conflict with one of the Windows updates. "Coupon100" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I am getting exactly the same thing out of my Word 2007 on Vista.
