macro functions

[jack]

When I record a macro all the right mouse click functions become inoperative
as does copy, edit. Is there a setting that is disabling ordinary word
functions?

No, it's just that the macro recorder isn't capable of recording a lot of what
you can do with the mouse. You may be able to do the same things with
keystrokes, depending on what you're doing; or you may have to learn enough VBA
to write the code that you can't record.
