MS Word and text selection

Is there any way to get Word (and Outlook) to stop over-selecting for me?  E.g., in the value

This 'is' a test.

I try to just select "is" to bold it and it decides to auto-grab the final ' as well.  I *really* don't want that.  It does it for final punctuation and the space after a string, and sometimes it will over-grab an entire word when I only want part of it done.  I'm very precise about what I want selected, and this nanny-crap is damned annoying.
