When I want to select a word or phrase in a sentence in Word, if I inadvertently select the space before the word, WORD automatically selects the previous word. I suppose that I could be more accurate in my selection, I.E., begin my selection at the first letter and not the space before the first letter, but I do not work at such a magnified scale, and it is tedious to make sure I do not select that space.
It seems unfair that WORD would assume that I want to select “backward” (heck, if I wanted the previous word, I would select it). Is there any any to turn this “‘auto back selection” off?
