It's a laptop and the mouse is a built-in touch pad. The cursor movements and ability to highlight, scroll, drop and drag - all work fine in other programs, like MS Excel. It is just in MS Word that we're having the issue.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill, The function or, lack of function, is not pursuant to MS Word. You need to check mouse in the 'Control Panel' to see if there are any warnings about it. Also, Have checked, to see if, the mouse is attached securely to the PC?
