Hi all,

This is my first post on this site. I dunno if this will help anyone,
but from the sounds of the symptoms it could be the same troubles that
I
suddenly started having with Word 2007 on VISTA (OS).

I found the solution in a post at the following URL: 'Tim Anderson?s
ITWriting - Tech writing blog » Annoying Word 2007 problem: can?t
select
text' (http://tinyurl.com/54dyqw)

. Close Word and Outlook
2. Start / Run and type regedit
3. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data
4. Rename this key.
5. Restart Word


Microsoft support site also offered a similar solution: 'How to
troubleshoot problems that occur when you start or use Word 2007, Word
2003, or Word 2002'
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B921541)

Hope this helps! :)

I have the same problem with Vista/Word 2007 and would like to follow
inkysmiles' advice but don't know what it means to "rename the key."
Any elucidation would be appreciated.

(Thank you, Rick for help on posting.)
