On the Edit tab of Tools | Options, make sure you don't have "When
selecting, automatically select entire word" checked.

sorry but it appears to be back again - when i select a few letters in the
middle of a a word the whole word dissapears or just the rest of the word at
times.

Your further advice would be appreciated

many thanks

Does this still happen if you start Word in Safe Mode (by pressing Ctrl
while starting)?
