That fact is completely irrelevant though. In case you are
surprised, many people don't answer abusive messages like
yours...

Hi Alexander,

Actually, it's not irrelevant, nor is it abusive. Word/VBA
provide no way to directly determine which mouse button was
clicked in the Word environment. Ahmad would need the Windows
API, and that most certainly falls within "your" realm, not
Word's...

Hi Ahmad,

is it possible?

Not directly possible with the Word object model, no. Although it
ought to be using the Windows API.

The closest you could get with Word would be to use the
WindowSelectionChange and WindowBeforeRightClick events. But
there's no way to get, for example, the middle mouse button.

Thank you Cindy M. I will check out these Windows API. I dont need to handle
middle mouse button. i just have to know when the right mouse button is
clicked. Thanks once again for your kind reply.

Hi Ahmad,

i just have to know when the right mouse button is
clicked.

In that case, also check out the WindowBeforeRightClick
event, as it may be more appropriate to what you need to
accomplish

Thanks Cindy M.
I have used WindowBeforeRightClick. It solved my problem.
Thank you once again.
