Try reinstalling the mouse driver, or see if there's an updated driver at
the manufacturer's web page. The path for the driver is Start > Settings >
Control Panel > Mouse > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver.

I am having the same issue. I have an IBM T42 laptop. I can not
click or highlight text in Word or even with an external USB Mouse. I
have repaired and reinstalled Office 2007 and changed the mouse
drivers etc.
Is this a known issue? There are no updates for office for my
machine.
Mark
Thanks.

This problem has been seen as being caused by using certain add-ins with Word as well. Laser Fiche is one that isn't compatible.
What happens if you start Word in Office safe mode (hold ctrl key while starting Word)?
What profile restrictions were you using when not logged in as Administrator?
You can contact the MS folks through the links on http://support.microsoft.com

Ok...found a solution, this really isn't so much a fix but a work-around
untill MS addresses the issue. My assumption that this problem is cuased by
a security features appears to have been correct. If you run Word with
administrator privileges (by either logging in as an Admin or by selecting
"Run As Administrator"), everything works as normal...you can highlight text,
use the scroll bar and select the different options tabs in the options menu.
So, the next step is to figure out why a user's access level restricts the
mouse abilites in Word. Does anyone know what the best way is to contact MS
and tell them about this?

I had this problem, and it turned out to be Flash Paper add-in and template
that was causing it.
