From: Peter T. Daniels on 22 May 2010 21:58 Your arrow key or the combination Shift-Left Arrow must have been assigned to some different command. The arrow keys normally do not do anything but move the cursor. (You're not pressing Backspace, are you, which also shows a left-pointing arrow on the keytop?) If your password is written out where anyone can view it, it's not much of a password. On May 22, 9:17 pm, Brian <abb1...(a)live.com.(donotspam)> wrote: > When I do that it erases the word.

From: Graham Mayor on 23 May 2010 02:10 I don't see what Lotus Pro has to do with the different behaviour of Word. They are entirely different applications. However while it is not a particularly good idea to store your passwords in a document - there are plenty of password management applications around that would be more secure - you can address your immediate problem with a macro. Add the following macro to a toolbar button and use it to copy your password to the clipboard. It will eliminate any following spaces or paragraph mark (which would also be selected if you double click the last word in a paragraph) from your double click selection. Sub MyCopy() Dim oRng As Range If Len(Selection.Range) > 1 Then Set oRng = Selection.Range Do While oRng.Characters.Last = Chr(32) Or _ oRng.Characters.Last = Chr(13) oRng.End = oRng.End - 1 Loop oRng.Copy Else MsgBox "Select the text first!"

From: Brian on 23 May 2010 22:41 Im sorry, you are correct, Shift-LeftArrow does move the highlighting back one-space at a time, I mis-interpreted your message as Shift-LeftTab. Thanks for the tip. Ive also found that my idea of a 'period' at the end of the password works pretty good for quick double-click copy also. How else would a person keep track of hundreds of passwords, if they didnt write them down in an alphabetical order? No one else has access to my computer, unless they can access it some way that I am not aware of. -- Brian Kansas City "Peter T.

Maybe someone who uses hundreds of passwords can share how they deal with them!
