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
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.
This 'is' a test.

If it is Office 2007 for Word in that colorful thing in the top left corner there is a "Word Options" and I suspect you will want to turn off a bunch of the so-called smart options.
