Selecting text in different areas of a document

[Tiffany]

I've run into a problem with Word 2007. In past versions of word I was able
to quickly select text in several different areas throughout a document by
highlighting it with my mouse and holding down ctrl as a highlighted a
different area of text. However, in Word 2007 I can't seem to do that anymore
because it seems to want to highlight everything inbetween the areas that I
want to select instead of a just the desired sentence or words. Is there an
option to do this and there's just some check box I have to click or is this
a difference in Word 2007. I've tried reinstalling my software so I don't
know what's going on, especially since I don't have this problem using word
2007 on my other computer. I really don't know how to fix this & it's
annoying when I'm trying to do quick document formatting.
Thanks!

It works exactly the same way in Word 2007 - failure to do so suggests a
problem with the mouse driver, a corruption of the data key in the registry,
or interference from a third party add-in. See
