I'm running Office 2003.
I use to be able to hold down the 'Alt' key and left mouse button and drag to highlight just what I wanted to delete. Let say the first charactor in each row.
Now whenever I try to do it, it will bring up a "Research, translate" window on the right side.
Please how do I make this stop, it’s driving me nuts?

I don't thinks so.
If I go to View/Toolbars, all I have checked is: Standard, Formating and Drawing. I don't see Language listed.
And I checked and I don't have Language activated in my systray.
Thanks, Debbie

I think I found the problem.
If you go to Tools/Research you will notice that the hotkey is 'ALT+CLICK'. I went to Tools/customize and then Keyboard button. You can reassign the hotkeys there.
I did not see the 'ALT+CLICK' assigned to Tools/research so I went ahead and clicked on "Reset all" and that fixed the problem.
Thanks, Debbie

OK, I practiced this at work and got it to work, but now that I'm at home it will not work by doing what I listed above.
I think what it is complaining about is the fact the the first charactor in each line is a quotation mark and it doesn't know what to do with it. It does fine if I try it on just text. Such as: This is test 1 This is test 2
Instead of: "This is test 1 "This is test 2
Does anyone know how to tell Office to perminately except this charactor?
