2007 Unable to select text/word in all Word files.

Only in Word files of office 2007 am I having this problem. I can not select
items, a words or anytime with a mouse. It work fine in all other programs.

Could be a damaged Word data key in the Windows registry. Close
Word 2007, start regedit, and rename the
"\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data"
key. Word 2007 will create a new Data key using the factory
default settings when you restart the program. If this fixes the
problem, great... but you might have to re-select some of your
Word Options settings. If it doesn't, you can close Word 2007,
go back into regedit, delete the newly created Word data key, and
rename the old key back to its original name to retrieve your old
Word Options settings.

Thank you for the suggestion, it worked. I had tried everything all day,
uninstall and reinstall, reboots, backup restore. Now I can get back to work.
Thanks again.
