afab Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Yes, I still run Outlook 2007 on my Win 10 Lenovo laptop. A weird setting change occurred that I'm not sure how to fix. When I'm reading an email, rather than the normal arrow cursor I now have a hand. Left-click the mouse and the hand closes and scrolls through the message. This is worthless. I can no longer highlight text to move/copy it. What setting do I need to change back to have Outlook back to normal? Thanks. afab Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted March 12, 2016 FPCH Admin Posted March 12, 2016 How are you, Stephen? Great to see you here.:D That's called a "Panning Hand". You should be able to bring the mouse cursor back by pressing the Escape button on your keyboard.

FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted March 12, 2016 FPCH Admin Posted March 12, 2016 If using the ESC key doesn't turn off the panning hand option completely, see the screenshot below...... The Panning Hand option sits right above the vertical scrollbar on the right side of the message. When it is enabled, you can scroll through the message without using the scroll bar. You can click the hand icon to turn it off again. 1 Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~

afab Posted March 12, 2016 Author Posted March 12, 2016 Perfect! It works. Back to normal -- as normal as usual I suppose. Quote
