This is actually a problem with MSWord 5.0, in my opinion.  The changed
something in the program that requires changes to all mouse drivers.  If
you use the MicroSoft mouse, then you get an upgraded mouse driver included
with MSWord.  Otherwise you have to contact the manufacturer of your mouse
and get a new driver.  We are still waiting for ones for our Logitech and
Mouse Systems mice.  We just got one for our HP mice.  (An article in
InfoWorld about a month ago had an acknowledgement from MicroSoft that the
new MSWord 5.0 would not work with most mice until the new drivers were
available, and even would not work with a number of EGA and VGA drivers.)
