Default Double-Click Copy/Paste in Word

You don't say which version of Word you're using, but somewhere in the
Options you'll find one for "Smart Selection" or something like that.
Uncheck it. It's the default, but it's useless.

For years Ive been using Lotus Word Pro, and when I double-click on a word it
is highlighted for copy/paste functions. But now that Im switching to MS
Word, when I double-click on a word, not only is the word highlighted, but
also the spaces following the word. When I then copy/paste such a 'password'
etc, the pasted word is not accepted, because the spaces are included. This
seems like a big hassle to me, to have to carefully drag the highlighting
across the word to be sure no spaces are included. Is there anything I can do
about it?
