I have excel 2013 on my laptop and all works fine but when I installed it on my Microsoft surface Pro I cant single click items on the ribbon menu bar like fill colour, font colour, merge cells etc anything that has a dropdown menu in the ribbon bar.
im using the type cover touch pad. and use the touch pad on the laptop too.
When using the touch screen I understand why it would do it but not for a "mouse pointer" also when using the touch screen it actually shows completely different with bigger icons etc so it recognises the difference.
