Help pse! I used to be able to select where to highlight text with a cursor but now this has been replaced by a hand which only moves the page up or down!!! I tried using Select All to highlight the whole article and then Paste into Word BUT I get the message that the article is too long!!

What has happened to my cursor!!
Using Vista 64 and Windows Word

Ty in anticipation
