The double click will always pick up the space(s) after a word unless it is
immediately followed by a punctation mark.

This still doesnt work for me. If another word is after the word Im
copying,
or my word is at the end of the line with no punctuation.. the 'double
click
copy selection' still picks up several more spaces, which then dont work
for
password insertions. I do this several times a day, so it is a bit of a
big
deal for me.

It's the second item under Word Options Advanced (Automatically
select entire word). Also uncheck the two "smart" items a few lines
below.

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?
