Mouse and Tab do not work in Word 2007 but on menu

[Mouse and Tab not working]

I create a new Word 2007 document and it will not recognize my mouse or tab
key anywhere in the word document. In order to fix the mess the template
sets up with standard 12 point spacing I have to use the up arrow, hold down
the shift key and use the down arrow to highlight. Then "using the mouse on
the menu" I can change the font spacing.... The mouse does now work for
right click either....
A lot of times Word just freezes and says searching for solution...but with
all the 2007 products not one ever has a solution to its crashing or
freezing....oh, and I am using Vista.

The menu really needs a quick point for the user to set up their own
standard settings like the font size, set up like Arial versus what comes
standard....etc... Microsofts standards are seldom the standard most users
need or use.

Thank you.

Everything you need is already there. Just change the font in the Font
Dialog and press DEFAULT to choose your own preferred font.

But it sounds like you have corrupted the Word DataKey. From Start, Run,
type in

regedit

and press enter. Navigate down to the Word DataKey and press delete. Start
Word and test the mouse again.
