Stop selecting whole line when select first character?
Hi,
I can select the 2nd character in a line by itself, but if I try to select just the 1st character in the line, Word "helpfully" selects the entire line. Is there some way to turn off or work around that behavior? Thanks, JF |

Stop selecting whole line when select first character?
Oops, my goof.
The "regular line of text" I was trying to select the first character of, was not really a "regular line of text". Actually it was still a hyper-link. It looked like regular text, because I had done CTRL+spacebar to remove the styling from it, but underneath it was still a hyper-link. So is there some way to just select the first character of a hyper-link?
