Have a problem highlighting things on the computer?

I have a problem with highlighting with my mouse in Word (2007) and everywhere else for that matter. It catches some of the text (or pictures) I want to highlight, but will let it go when I let off the button, or it just sporadically highlights parts etc. Anybody have a solution to this problem? I have a wireless Logitech mouse and I think the batteries are ok. I’d appreciate any help.

    You are using wrong mouse driver. Check this under Devices and Printers, click on start, right hand side of Program menu click on Devices and Printers. (This for Windows 7) If you using XP the mouse controls are under Device Manager. Just press Win Key and Pause key together, on this screen you can click on Device Manager, click on plus sign by mouse. See what driver you have loaded. If wrong then download the correct driver from Logitech. MS mouse driver will work somewhat with Logitech but not 100%.

    you can get a highlighter almost anywhere, try Staples. The just remove the cap, and draw over whatever you want to highlight. It should wipe off of your computer screen easy.
