*Trouble:* Unable to mouse-click (left or right) anywhere in the
document window area of Microsoft Word 2007.<\/p>\n
*Product:* MS Office 2007, SP1 MSO (12.0.6213.1000)<\/p>\n
*OS: *Windows Vista Ultimate<\/p>\n
*Trouble caused by:* Adobe Contribute CS3 OfficePlugin.dll (COM
Add-in)<\/p>\n
*Solution:*<\/p>\n
*Step 1 *- *confirm add-on is truly the issue* – ensure MS Word 2007
is not currently running, if running close it; – click Windows ‘Start’
icon; – in the “Start Search” text field box type “run” (without
quotes); – hit the enter key on the keyboard; the Run window should now
come up; – in the “Open” text field type: “winword \/a” without the
quotes and click the “OK” button; Word 2007 will now open without
loading any add-ons; test typing, highlighting, left and right mouse
button clicking in the document area; if the problem is related to the
Contribute add-on the problem will have disappeared; – close MS Word
2007;<\/p>\n
*Step 2 -* *edit the registry to prevent Adobe Contribute plugin from
loading *- ;- click Windows ‘Start’ icon; – in the “Start Search” text
field box type “run” (without quotes); – hit the enter key on the
keyboard; the Run window should now come up; – in the “Open” text field
type: “regedit” without the quotes and click the “OK” button; – the
Windows Registry Editor will now open; – Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOfficeWord Addins ;- click on the
folder labeled “Adobe.Contribute.OfficePlugin”; – in the right hand pane
which should have refreshed there should be a few icons – locate the one
that says “LoadBehavior” and right click on it; – select “Modify…” in
the menu that appears; – a new window will pop up titled “Edit DWORD
(32-bit) Value” Under “Value Data” there should be the digit 3 in a text
field – simply change that 3 to a 0 (zero) digit and click the “OK”
button; close the Registry Editor;<\/p>\n
*Step 3 – Validate the problem is solved *- Go to “Start” find “MS
Word 2007″ and relaunch the program; – test typing, highlighting and
left and right clicking – the problem should now be resolved.<\/p>\n
If the problem persists another Addin may be the problem and the same
method above can be used to turn off all other addin LoadBehavior values
to 0 (zero) the digit which should eventually resolve the original
problem and restore Word to proper functioning.<\/p>\n
I had this problem myself and took a while to find the solution. Enjoy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
