I had the same problem. I do the following learned from a post by Neil at another website and it worked. good luck.

Hold down the windows key+R. This opens the ‘Run’ box. Type: ‘Regedit’ (without the apostrophes) then hit ok. This opens the Registry Editor.
In the registry editor open the following folders:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Office / 12.0 / Word

Then find the folder called ‘Data’. Right click on that folder, choose Rename and add a number to it i.e. ‘Data1′, then click off it so that the new name is saved. Try opening word again and test the mouse click.

Brian,

This issue can also be caused by some addins. I will suggest disabling addins and see if that fixes it.
