Mouse won't respond to clicks on Microsoft Office drop down menus.

Hi There using Ventura 13.2.1 on an M1 Air. This has been happening since I upgraded to Ventura many months ago. When I am clicking in a MSOffice Application menu, the mouse isn't able to click on a menu item witihn a dropdwon list. I have to use cursors to move and select menu items. Won't work with the macbook air track pad either.

I would suspect your old Microsoft Office version is not support on the current macOS...
