There is an issue with the 64 bit version of windows and office.

You will need to look in the HKLM/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/Office/12/word/addins
This is where you will find those pesky Addins !!

Thank you. This was driving me nuts. My only solution had been uninstall/re-install, and after a few weeks the problem cropped up again. I’m ready for a competing product!

I like a product that simply works. I’ve been using Word for decades and Word 7 really is a beast. It loads very very slowly, goes to hourglass mode for no apparent reason in the middle of using, takes forever to close, and often just plan crashes. The time lost waiting for this product is extremely, especially given the “maturity” of Word. Word 2003 wasn’t a miracle, but 2007, with its’ new layout added to the problems above, just sucks. Now let me go blow more time reading the Microsoft fixes.

I followed a link from another forum site who had problems where their mouse could not select text on their Outlook. As I went walked through the article I found out there was no problem with the add-ins but a text formatting keyboard shortcut I might have activated. I use the keyboard more often than the mouse (was stuck on a workstation with no mouse back in high school). Anyway, all I did was type a random text from the compose window and selecting the text by holding Shift + arrow(left) then the “select” cursor was back and I can highlight with the mouse again! Hope this helps for those who don’t have add-in problems.

I simply went to Add/Remove Programs control panel, selected Snag-It, and x-ed out all the add-in options. My mouse text selection is back to normal. Thanks to Andre for making the SnagIt addin connection.
