Re: Word 2007 - Unable to use mouse to select text

Have you installed anything recently?

Are you still able to navigate and edit the documents using the keyboard?

Does the mouse work in other applications, or is it "broken" only in Word
2007?

When installing updates, WU sets a restore point. Can you restore to before
the updates and see if that "fixes" the problem? If so... then I would try
installing the updates one by one, to see if the mouse stops working
correctly again... and if so, see which update appears to break it.
