[Ham-Computers] Problem with Outlook 2007 Update

OS is XP SP3

I use Outlook 2007 (part of Office 2007) as the email manager for my 
@comcast.net email addresses.  Yesterday or the day before, I received an 
update/Security Fix notice that as best I can recall all applied to Microsoft Office 
2007 and modules in it.  And as I have done for years, when I got to a 
convenient time I let it install, and later as requested, rebooted the machine.

Today, I needed to reply to a message that had come in to 
wa5cab at comcast.net and discovered that the function where you hi-light a block of text or 
whatever and then can delete, copy or move it no longer works.  And also, 
clicking anywhere in a mail document does not move the blinking cursor there.  
The only way to move the cursor is with the arrow keys, one line or space at a 
time.  Backspace and Delete both still work as expected.

I ran tests on Word and Excel and they are not affected.  Only Outlook.

Does anyone have any idea as to what happened?
