Windows 10: Why did my mouse stop selecting text while editing a MS Word document?

Why did my mouse stop selecting text while editing a MS Word document? How can I get it to resume text selection? The text selection by mouse works fine in other programs, websites etc. like this one

Word 2010 speak selected text limit?

I often use MS Word 2010's "speak selected text" feature to help edit portions of the text I write. The highlighted text plays back fine, but sometimes it just stops after a few hundred words, even though I've highlighted more text. Is there a limitation to the amount of text that can be played back at a time? Is that why playback just stops? Thanks.

 

Wrong "remove from list" document on word mobile.

Hi,

To further assist you with your concern about re-enabling files that were removed from the Recent Documents List in Word, we suggest to follow this steps:

• Click the FILE tab in the program.
• Click Options from the list on the left side of the screen.
• On the Word Options dialog box, click Advanced in the list of options on the left.
• On the Advanced screen, scroll down to the Display section. Select the value in the Show this number of Recent Documents edit box. You can choose to change the value to 0 to disable the list.
  
• When you open Word, or select the Open option in the program, there are no documents in your Recent Documents list.
• To re-enable the list, go back into the Word Options dialog box and enter the desired value (from 0 to 50, inclusive) in the Show this number of Recent Documents edit box on the Advanced screen. If any documents were previously displayed in the Recent Documents
  list, they are added to the list again.
  

We're just here if you have further questions.

Regards.

 

Mouse selection stops


If I try and make a selection using the mouse, it works for up to about 10 seconds and then it is as if I had released the mouse button. I have stopped every application running, but it still stops after a short period. I use Photoshop a lot, and it is very frustrating. Initially I thought it was a Photoshop problem, but now I notice if I try and select a part of a Word document, the selection stops after a short period making it impossible to select an area of text.

I suspect there is a programme running in the background which interrupts the mouse programme. I have looked in 'Procexp' to see what is running, but it is difficult to catch an offending programme. I have also used 'what's my computer doing?' while selecting an area of the desktop. The two programmes running at the time it stops are 'explorer' and 'avgui.exe'. I can suspend explorer but can no longer select an area, and I cannot suspend avgui.exe.

I have updated the Logitech software, but no difference. I have deleted the Logitech software and relied on the basic Win HID mouse software. Same problem.

I am getting really frustrated!! HELP!!
