Highlighting problem in Word and Outlook

[jebenson]

Hello all,

I have a client who is having an issue with highlighting in Word and Outlook. When the user selects some text and drags it to another location, it's as if the left mouse button remains pressed. That is, after dropping the text, when the mouse is moved again the cursor continues to highlight text when the mouse is moved, even though the left mouse button is not pressed. The only solution so far has been to shut down Word and/or Outlook and reboot the PC.

Word and Outlook are both 2002 version.

Win XP Professional, SP2.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
JEB
