Default Use mouse to select text in MS Word macro recorder.

Not feasible due to the structure of the respective files (as well as perhaps
any number of other reason).

For example, when you select text with the mouse on a given line of a
certain 'page' while *recording* a macro it is entirely possible that the
text, the line, & the page may be somewhere else when you run that macro...
or no longer exist in the doc at all.

In Excel, any given cell - A1:IV65536 - will always be there regardless of
whether previous content has been changed or deleted, or new content entered.

Excel allows full mouse functionality when using Macro Recorder. Why not
have the same ease of use in Word?
