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

Hello -

I had the exact same problem with Windows 2007 (not letting me select/edit any typed-in text). I followed the directions in KB921541 (for Vista). I have no idea what caused this condition.

Using the directions in the article, after deleting the specified registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data

I was able to restart Word 2007 without the problem. The directions indicate that you may export your Word settings, but I really don't care to try and reproduce what few settings I had. Just glad it started working.

Many thanks to the person(s) who pointed out this KB article!
