RE: Can you please make Word select only the text I highlight- not mo

I don't find this to be the case. I can select from the middle of a word to
the middle of any word I try. I have unchecked "Use Smart Cursoring," "Use
Smart Paragraph selection," and "When selecting, automatically select entire
word." Maybe you missed turning one of these off.
