Is there a way in Word (2003 preferred) to define the character set for
selection when I double click on text? For example, I'd like to include in
the character set the '_' character. I'd also like Word not to include the
trailing space if there is one.


I can't follow your problem description: do you want to add '_' to a
selected text? To _any_ selected text? Or do you want to copy the
section (say, to the Clipboard) and add something along?


When you double-click a word, the enclosing single-quotes should get
selected, too.

In FrameMaker you can add misc. characters to the set of characters FM
recognizes as part of a "word," but I've never come across such a
feature in Word.
