Hi!
I have a pretty annoying problem with Outlook 2007 SP1. When I write
some text and directly tries to select the text I've written with the
shift and arrow key it will not select the text. I can easily
reproduce the error by doing the following steps:
1. Open a new mail
2. Tab down to the text area
3. Write "hello"
4. Hit Shift+Left Arrow
The expected result would be to select the "o" in the written text,
but the actual result is that the letter is not selected. It is the
same problem with Ctrl+Shift+Left or Shift+Home.
I run it on Windows Vista x64 SP1. When I try the same thing in
notepad or word it will not appear. It will neither appear on my
colleague's Windows Vista x86 machine. I've tried to change format
between "Plain text", "Html" and "Rich text", but it is the same
problem.
It's pretty annoying to not be able to write a mail efficiently. Does
anybody else have this problem? Is it known? How do I solve it?

The machine has just been installed with vista and office 2007 with
SP1 has been installed. No add-ins have been installed.
As it seems, the detect and repair feature is no longer existing in
office 2007:
"What happened to Detect and Repair?
The Detect and Repair feature that was included with Microsoft Office
2003 has been replaced in the 2007 Microsoft Office system with
Microsoft Office Diagnostics. This new tool provides more
comprehensive testing and repair capabilities." [Outook Help]
However, I did run the following:
InfoPath, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, Project, SharePoint Designer,
and Visio:
1. On the Help menu, click Office Diagnostics.
2. Click Continue, and then click Start Diagnostics.
[Outlook Help]
The diagnostics tool did not find any problem. But the issue with the
selection is still there.
