Outlook Select/Copy/Paste issue

[Mark]

Very strange. In Outlook 2007 I cannot select text to copy & paste anymore.
Normally I can Click and drag to highlight text, then copy. Now when I place
the mouse over the text, the cursor turns into a hand and I cannot
highlight/select. If I click the mouse button the hand turns into a fist. If
I right-click I get a drop down menu with the following items....
"Synonyms", and "Translate". If I start Outlook in "Safe Mode" I do NOT have
this problem. I tried disabling all the Add-Ons but no luck. Any
suggestions? Thanks.

Just above the slide bar on the right should be a little hand icon. Clicking
that should toggle the hand and the pointer.
