On some older keyboards, you may not be able to highlight text using the
arrow keys. When you press SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW, the
cursor does not move to the left or right and highlight the text.
Instead, plus and asterisk characters are typed.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Creative Writer
versions 1.0 and 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
RESOLUTION
If your keyboard is demonstrating this problem, use the mouse instead to
highlight text.
MORE INFORMATION
This problem has been found to occur on older, non-ADB (Apple Desktop
Bus) keyboards
