Hi TedgarMadd,
According to the article, version 1708 (Build 8431.2215) is the latest build and you have Version 1708, Build 8431.2153 which is behind an update. Please try to update Office again and check if there’s any change.
In addition, when you left-click on your mouse to select a word or a paragraph, the selection will stay for you to perform any action such as copy or cut or bold etc. if you click anywhere else on the same page or press
Esc from keyboard, the selection will go away. This is normal in OneNote and any other application.
If this is not behavior you encounter, I would like to confirm the following information:
- What happens when you left-click to select? Please explain in detail.
- Provide a screenshot of the symptom when left-clicked.
- Try using a different notebook, see if that works fine.
Thanks,
Neha
