INFOSEEK: Word selection issues

[deathpixie]

Alvin's done it again. For some reason, in Word, whenever he tries to point and click on a part of a document, he winds up selecting entire paragraphs instead of moving the cursor. I can't work out what he's done - obviously he's hit something on the keyboard by accident to turn this on and I can't find out what it was - and I'm not going to retype every email he does. Help?

Edit: I swear to god I'm going to smash that computer of his - Sonia went in to look at it and it's fine now. Arghgkanweoiashdnflwh.

1) Unplug the mouse and plug it back in.

2) Save work, reboot computer.

3) If problem persists, check Alvin's age. If age > 60, what's he doing using a computer?

is if holding down the shift key, and why does if not undo?

That is Murphy's Law of IT. The computer will break. But before you call for the next level of support, it will fix itself so that you look crazy.
