SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Office Binder, when you click the right mouse button on a section in the section pane in your Binder, the section may not be selected, although the shortcut menu that appears applies to this section.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because, in Office Binder, the right mouse button does not select a section in the section pane. If you hold the mouse pointer over the section, a border appears around the section name after a brief period of time.

When you click the right mouse button on a section in the section pane, a shortcut menu appears with the following commands available:

Add
Delete
Duplicate
Rename

However, there is no indication as to which section the shortcut menu applies to.

Although this behavior may be confusing, it also provides a benefit in performance. When you click a section to activate the section, it takes time to switch to this section in your Binder. When you click the right mouse button on a section, the shortcut menu appears almost instantaneously, and you can perform the desired action very quickly without displaying the section.

Note that when you click Duplicate on the section shortcut menu, the Duplicate Section dialog box appears with a list of all of the available sections. Although the section on which you clicked the right mouse button appears selected in the list, you can click any section in the list to duplicate it.
