Moving the mouse will result in having the LAST key pressed being sent, repeatedly. Thus, if the last key pressed was 'a', moving the mouse in any direction results in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa until I hit ESC. This is a really bad effect if the last key pressed was BS or DEL. Bummer. The Logitech mouse worked fine with the earlier Word version (3.2?). I have the current release of 6300 mouse, and MS/DOS; rom is 1.43. I wrote to Microsoft on their trouble form, and they replied that it was a problem with the Logitech mouse. I have not had time to delve further, but your article suggests that Microsoft better have another look at it .... If anyone knows how to fix it (Microsoft included), I would like to know. Thanks in advance. Pat Kauffold AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL. attrd!ihlpa!cga66

I have a PS/2-50 with a Genuine MS Mouse and have the same problem, every once in a long while. The Logimouse has nothing to do with it. But what would you expect them to say? -- John R.
