Mouse not working in Word

[Guest]

I am having an unusual issue where the mouse is not functioning in Word. The
mouse works fine everwhere else. In word, unable to select text or move the
cursor position by clicking with the mouse. Also, unable to open a document
by clicking on the Word document in file explorer, instead I need to open
Word, then do a file open.

Any ideas??

By the way, I had done a repair of Word, problem remained. Then I
uninstalled Office and reinstalled from the CD, problem still remains.

Hi,

I have same problem, seemed to start after uninstalling Adobe CS3 beta and
installing Adobe CS3 Suite. All help is appreciated?

Thank you,

Brent,

My issue ended up being related to Laserfiche. I needed to delete the
normal.dot file for word and a template for Laserfiche. After deleting those
files everything was back to normal. I would suggest deleting normal.dot to
see if that solves the problem.

Hi,

For me it turned out to be disabling SnagIt from within Word.

I have the same problem, but cannot figure out how to select the option to
disable Snagit in Word! I can bring up the options, but can't scroll to
Add-Ins to get rid of the feature. Any thoughts?

Hi,

Doing a registry edit solved the problem for me:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Found add-ins listed. I changed the value of the LoadBehavior key from 3 to
0 for each add-in.

Found info on this at http://www.itwriting.com/blog/?p=140 and some other
places I don't recall.

Good Luck,
Brent

It is highly unlikely that SnagIt is the problem, and if it is I am sure
Techsmith would want to hear about it. They are very proactive in dealing
with issues. See http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then

I did have one issue with SnagIt breaking one of my keyboard shortcuts, but
I don't recall which one it was. Just closing SnagIt did the trick.

Hi,

As soon as I disabled the snagit addon in word 2007 the problem went away.
Snagit is great and I still use it all the time but not via Word addin. What
was strange was it didn't seem to be causing a problem until I added CS3
suite to my machine?!?!

Take care,
Brent

Same thing worked for me - disabled Snagit as an add-in - which you can't do
from Word because one of the problems is that you can't get at Add-Ins in
Word Options! - and everything worked again. So yes, I think it is a problem
with Snagit, although possibly also other add-ins.

Turning snag it off worked for me - great thanks

Lee, you are a genius. I had searched the internet for a solution and spent
days doing everything and happened upon your thread and was stunned because
we use Laserfiche. As soon as I uninstalled it everything went back to
normal. THANKS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
