Cannot select text with cursor, command+A or even edit -> 'select all' in Word 16.9.1.  No selection of text occurs at all within any document.

Mac OS Version:  10.13.4

Have uninstalled and reinstalled office and hard-rebooted machine.

Any ideas?

This is a known issue with the beta of Mac OS X.

You should report this to Apple using the Apple Feedback app you were instructed to use for this purpose.

    Hi P Vasey,

    Have you viewed Jim’s suggestion? @Jim, appreciate your reply.

    Since 10.13.4 is a beta version, we kindly suggest you use more stable version. Please follow Jim’s suggestion to report this behavior to Apple at your convenience.

    We appreciate your understanding.

    Best Regards,

    Zixuan
