Hi Wes, YES I had Text Cursor turned on (Narrator is off) and YES turning it off corrected the error loop problem. I tested the error first then turned Text Cursor off after which I could not duplicate the error. Great find! Good to hear MS recognized the problem and is correcting it.

Thanks again Wes,

Bert

Wow. The last thing I would have guessed might well be a Windows Cursor setting that caused this. Thanks for persisting and thanks for posting your resolution.

One last thing. Do you mind posting a screenshot of where and how you change this setting? Future visitors might benefit as well from the visual.

  BertK1450 Thanks to both of you.
  
  It boggles my mind that this setting would have such a debilitating impact on an Office application.

    George:
    
    And I thank you for passing my initial message onto Shane, who has persevered on the MS end until a chance discovery was made, which allowed the identification of some possible causes.
    
    Will await the MS "fix".
