can't select text in word 2007 vista

T60p lenovo new, vista home premium, everything fine then - after last auto
update- can not select text in word 2007 with touch pad or with usb mouse. I
can move cursor with arrows. I can move mouse arrow to control functions and
it works in other programs.

Tried restore functions to last four restore points but none would complete
successfully.

Hmm, is this a Norto nissue, word issue, or simply wrath of the tech gods?

Love to have an approach. Yes everything is new, updated, legal and worked
for 3 weeks.

thanks.
