This article was previously published under Q25149 SUMMARY
When you run a non-Windows-based application (such as Microsoft Word
for MS-DOS) under Windows, no mouse support is available.
MORE INFORMATION
MS-DOS-based applications running under Windows use their own mouse
drivers. To have mouse support in these applications under Windows, the
mouse drivers need to be loaded before Windows starts. In the case of
Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it is necessary to load MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS
before starting Windows. For other applications, refer to the program and
mouse manuals for the names of the necessary drivers.
