I have just got office 2003.
It used to be possible to select a vertical block of text by holding down
the ALT keuy and dragging. It still says so in the help but when I try I get
put into research. How do I do it?

There is a diffrence between Alt+click (which opens the Research pane) and
Alt+drag (which you can use to column-select). That is, when you press the
mouse key, you must keep it down. If you release it too soon, it is
registered as a click, and you get the Research pane.
