Clicking twice when in another application

Is it just Office 2007, just Office, or all Microsoft products?

If I'm in another application, and click somewhere in Word or Excel 2007, the cursor is not moved to where I clicked, or the button I clicked is not pressed. I have to click again for some reason. It's happening on two completely different machines, so I assume it's not my fault. All the first click appears to do is change the focus from one application to another - this is going back to the way Windows 2 worked.

"Sir, your daughter says she loves me, she can't live without me, and wants to marry me."
"And you're asking my permission to marry her?"
"No, I'm asking you to make her leave me the hell alone!!"

Are you using laptops? I have found that my new laptop touchpad is so
sensitive that I don't even have to touch it to register (my electric
personality) Anyway, if so try to adjust that. P.S. I HATE Office 2007

No, both are desktops. Whenever I use a laptop, I plug in a USB mouse anyway.

I used to hate Office 2007 too, but I've got used to the interface and now prefer it. It takes a while to find each facility the first time though.

But having to click twice is crazy. Maybe the old versions of office were the same, as I've never been repeatedly flipping between applications before. I was taking data from a text file in Notepad and pasting bits into an Excel spreadsheet, and I had to click twice every time I wanted to go to an Excel cell if Notepad was in the foreground. Trouble is you have to do two SEPERATE clicks with a wait inbetween, or it thinks it's a double click, so it's very time consuming.

A virile, young Italian gentleman was relaxing at his favorite bar in Rome, when he managed to attract a spectacular young blonde.
Things progressed to the point where he invited her back to his apartment, and after some small talk, they retired to his bedroom and made love.
After a pleasant interlude, he asked with a smile, "So, you finish?"
She paused for a second, frowned and admitted, "No."
Surprised, the young man reached for her and the love making resumed.
This time she thrashes about wildly and there are screams of passion.
The lovemaking ends, and again, the young man smiles, and again he asks, "So, you finish?"
And again, after a short pause, she returns his smile, cuddles closer to him, and softly says, "No."
Stunned, but damned if this woman is going to outlast him, the young man reaches for the woman again.
Using the last of his strength he barely manages it, but they climax simultaneously, screaming, bucking, clawing and ripping the bed sheets.
The exhausted man falls onto his back, gasping.
Barely able to turn his head, he looks into her eyes, smiles proudly, and asks again, "So, you finish?"
Barely able to speak, she whispers in his ear, "No! I Norwegian."
