Windows 10: I can't select text in Microsoft Word with my mouse.

I can't select text in Microsoft Word with my mouse. Like, press down and dragging the mouse and therefor selecting text. I can select it with the keyboard and double/triple click.I can do it on the web, but not in documents. It started a week ago and really bothers me.

6234: Selecting Word Suggestions on predictive text

HI there

I have a Nokia 6234 and according to the user guide, I should be able to select Word Suggestions on predictive text. However I've been looking at all the possible menu options and haven't found this yet.

When writing a message, if I press Options, of the 17 items that are listed, only one of them concerns prediction and that is "Prediction off" (or "Prediction on" depending on what text writing mode the phone is in at that time). There is no Prediction sub-menu
as the user guide seems to suggest, and I haven't seen any menu item called "Word suggestions"

Any ideas?

Thanks

Charlie

 

Predictive text (normal vs word suggestions)

Which Nokia phone will give me word suggestion? I don''t particularly want a very sophisticated phone with camera, internet etc. All I want is to speak and text, but with word suggestion, completing the words for me, not only the basic predictive text.
Can someone please suggest a phone that actually does that instead of only claiming to do it? (And what's the law on misleading claims? W.S. is listed in the functions!)

Text Cursor In A Word

Hello, Ali EmirAS,

Thank you for using our Microsoft Community.

I understand that sometimes troubleshooting can be a bit time-consuming and the fact that the issue is still not resolved can be frustrating. To troubleshoot our issue, let's perform the following steps:

1. Change the Text Select to the default value
   
   Type control panel in the search box
   
   Select Mouse
   
   On the Mouse Properties dialog box, select the Pointers
   
   Under Customize, choose Text Select
   
   Click Use Default and Apply/OK.
   
2. Turn off the Test cursor
   
   
   
   
   

Also, I found a thread with a similar problem that you can refer to as well:
