Re: Can't Select Text in Word 2007 / Vista

Thank you for saying you found the answer. I needed to hear that someone has
solved the problem. I have been working on the problem for 2 days now with
no success. I went to your link and read the information, but I'm just a
novice and need more specifics like: step 1, step 2 etc. Can you help?
Thanks
