Use mouse to select text in MS Word macro recorder.
Excel allows full mouse functionality when using Macro Recorder. Why not
have the same ease of use in Word? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Use mouse to select text in MS Word macro recorder.
Word's macro recorder records mouse actions that are equivalent to keyboard
commands, such as clicking a button or selecting a menu item. It does not record text selection because, not being set up like Excel, it doesn't have a specific "address" for the text being selected. -- Suzanne S.

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.

Use mouse to select text in MS Word macro recorder.
It isn't just the mouse text selection that is a problem, being able to use
the right click function in macro recorder would also be useful. For example... if you wanted to update a field use the right click option instead of having to go through the menus.
