I'm having issues with Microsoft Word 2007! Help!?

Question

I am using Windows Vista on my laptop. The only program that is giving me trouble is Word. I can click between menu tabs and print, close, save, and press buttons on the toolbars. However, I cannot use my mouse inside the actual document. I cannot even scroll up and down the page with my mouse. In order to navigate the document, I have to use my arrow keys.

I really need to get this issue fixed fast! One night I put my computer to sleep and the next mornings after updates had installed, Word didn't work properly.

Is there a setting I need to change in Word? Any help? Advice?
