You need the latest version of the Logitech mouse driver AND you need to
set the mouse to MM mode (Microsoft Mouse).  You cannot use the mouse
driver that comes with Word, as it will only talk with Microsoft mice
on the bus or serial port.

I don't what version Logitech mouse driver you have, but try it.  By
calling it up, it will automatically set the rodent to mm mode.  Be sure
and get rid of the Microsoft driver, by rebooting the system.

It may be possible that mouse dirver you have needs to be replaced with
a new driver from Logitech.  If the above doesn't work, give them a call.
