Can I make Undo remove more than a character at a time?

In Word 2007, after typing new or replacement text, Undo (whether by the button in the Quick Access bar, Ctrl-Z, or Alt-Backspace) always just removes 1 character at a time, which I find too slow for reverting text.

Is there a way to change this so Undo removes a word or other larger block at a time instead of a character at a time? That's how it works in the Outlook 2007 e-mail editor and I swear that's how it always worked in previous versions of Word, unless I paused for a long time between each character I typed.

Am I right that this is new behavior in Word 2007?

Thanks,
Colin
