[att.sys.pc6300] MS Word 4.0 & AT&T Mouse

nobi@mtuxo.UUCP (11/20/87)

Yesterday, a friend told me about a problem he was having
with the new version of Microsoft Word (v.4.0) and the AT&T
mouse plugged into his 6300.

Whereas the mouse had worked perfectly with all earlier
versions of Word, it was not working totally correctly with
the new one, especially when the cursor was moved towards the
menu at the bottom of the screen.  He called up Microsoft and
was told that the new Word required a new mouse driver.  Such
was included with Word for those with the MS mouse. 
Manufacturers of other mice had to supply the new drivers for
their mice, my friend was told.

I called up the AT&T hotline to ask them where the new driver
for the AT&T mouse was.  A rep said that there was a rumor
that a beta test version of such was floating around.  But he
didn't know anything else.

Does anyone out there know anything about this?  Is there a
new mouse driver in the works?  Is it available?  When will
it be ready?  Can anyone in the organization get it now?
