Trouble selecting cells or objects with mouse
Hi, I have Win10 and Office10 installed. Mouse selection has become buggy. In excel, I can no longer reliably left click, hold and drag to select a specific range of cells. It's sloppy...somet...

Hi Michael
I have experienced this too. I find sometimes that it is the magnification settings (bottom right corner of Excel, PowerPoint, etc).
Try zooming in (or other adjustments) and see if that helps?
Cheers

Damien_Rosario this worked like a charm! So grateful you took the time to post this resolution. I was beginning to think I might be having the onset of Parkinson's or something that I couldn't control my mouse well enough to make these simple maneuvers to move info between Excel cells. HA HA

Thanks Damien, I was hoping that Zoom would be the culprit but unfortunately it is not. I've tried Repairing Office 2010, rechecked my mouse device settings to no avail. It is a more global problem as I cannot select the intended paragraph of text on a webpage using Chrome. I'm re-checking for viruses.

Good luck!
