Hello,
i'm using Office 365 on my Tab s7.
I have a problem when using a mouse with my tablet.
I cant leftclick drag to select text.
The Problem is only within office, if not within office i can drag to select.
To select text in offic i have to doubleclick a word and then use the same way i use when i'm not using mouse: by dragging one of the little blue flags.
Hoping for help.
Greetings,
Paul

I have the same problem on my Lenovo Tab 11 Plus. The mouse work well on google docs but does not work on any microsoft 365 app: word, excel, power point. This is unacceptable! Pathetic, Microsoft, really pathetic.
Seems to me that selecting text is a really basic function that should work in any word processor, regardless of platform. Same problem here on my $1500 Tab Ultra. Pathetic, Microsoft, really pathetic.
Yes, already deleted the app completely and reinstalled.
Problem still persists.
Checked everything you said, problem still exists.
