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

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.
