An odd problem

Dale

I know this is more of a technical issue rather than the sort of
question that is usually asked here, but maybe someone here has
encountered this before. It only happens with Word VBA

Just yesterday when I was designing an object I noticed that when I was
resizing an object my mouse cursor would not change to the direction
arrows. In fact after quickly experimenting I noticed that the cursor
always stays the same. It won't change if I select a new object from
the toolbox, move objects, resize objects, etc. . .

Now the reason I am asking this question here is that it only happens
with graphical objects in Word 2000 vba. The cursor does what it is
supposed to everywhere else even in Word or vba code and their
respective windows.

I've looked through the options and can't see anything that would
indicate such an option. Also, everytime I choose the code section (no
matter how I do so) of the form I am working on there is a procedure
for that form with the click event. That never used to happen before
unless I double clicked on the form.

It began yesterday and thought it would go away after a reboot or
working on a different document, but obviously it hasn't.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Probably what you need to do is display the Drawing toolbar
(View>Toolbars>Drawing) and then click on the "Select object" button on that
toolbar and use the pointer that results from doing that.
