I cannot select text with my mouse in Word and Outlook. I can for a little while, then I can't, so, I close and restart the applications again and all is well. This also means that I can't drag anything like text that I have selected with the keyboard or table widths or tabs in the ruler bar...
The cause was unknown until today when I narrowed it down to the Ctrl
key.
That is, as soon as I use the Ctrl
key (for copy, paste, undo or even by itself for the purpose of this test), my ability to select and drag is gone.
There are no sticky keys. I am using Office 2010
(Professional 14.0.6112.5000 32-bit
on Windows 7 Pro SP1
).
I have uninstalled and re-installed Office
. I have tried several registry edits
offered by my findings with no luck.
Any ideas?
