Mouse right-click button function problem with Word Pad program

Question

I am use a Logitech "Wave" wireless keyboard and mouse.  For some peculiar reason the right-click button function on the mouse has changed, but only with respect to the MS Windows Word Pad program.  The right-click menus continue to appear on web pages, the desktop, etc., but for some reason I am no longer to get the regular menu of choices while using Word Pad when I highlight some text (Cut, Paste, etc.). 

Logitech Tech support said it is apparently not a mouse problem, but rather a program specific issue.  Is there anything I can do short of re-installing Windows to correct this problem?

Answer 1

For reason(s) unbeknownst to me, the right-click menu has started reappearing again.  I haven't a clue as to why it either stopped (nothing happened on right-click) or restarted.
