I am using word 2007. This is the first time I've had this problem.
It used to be that, when I double-click on a line of text, the entire line would highlight or, if I dragged the cursor over some words they would highlight and I could then perform my edits on them.Now,even though they don't highlight, I can still edit them if I select them in the normal way.I've checked the properties of the files and they are not hidden or read-only.


Can someone tell me why this is happening?

TIA Jim B.
