From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 21 May 2010 23:31 The double click will always pick up the space(s) after a word unless it is immediately followed by a punctation mark. -- Hope this helps.

From: Brian on 22 May 2010 17:58 So there is no way around this problem (did you read my initial post?)? It seems weird to me that it wouldnt just pick up what Im double clicking on, as it has always done, for years, using my Lotus Word Pro, which I can no longer use as it is not supported by Win-7. I copy/paste Passwords all day every day, so this is a big hassle for me, as a new Word user. I guess I will [amazingly] have to put a 'period' after each of my passwords, so I can [double-click] copy/paste. -- Brian Kansas City "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: > The double click will always pick up the space(s) after a word unless it is > immediately followed by a punctation mark. > > -- > Hope this helps. > > Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my > services on a paid consulting basis.
From: Peter T. Daniels on 22 May 2010 18:29 It doesn't seem very secure that your passwords are written out in some document somewhere ... but you don't need to "carefully drag the highlighting across the word": you can double-click and Shift-Left to deselect the space.

When I do that it erases the word. What is wrong with having a file with my passwords listed? I have about 300 passwords. Should I write them on my hand? -- Brian Kansas City "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: > Well, you can Shift+Left Arrow to deselect each space. > |
