Double-Click Copy/Paste in Word
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? -- Brian Kansas City |

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.

Double-Click Copy/Paste in Word
Thank you for your reply. Im using Word 2007. I found 'Word Options'
Advanced Cut, copy, and paste ... but I still cant figure out how to make Copy stop picking up the spaces. Any further sugguestion? -- Brian Kansas City "Peter T.

Double-Click Copy/Paste in Word
It's the second item under Word Options Advanced (Automatically
select entire word). Also uncheck the two "smart" items a few lines below. On May 21, 4:43*am, Brian .(donotspam) wrote: Thank you for your reply. Im using Word 2007.

Double-Click Copy/Paste in Word
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. -- Brian Kansas City "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: It's the second item under Word Options Advanced (Automatically select entire word).

Well, you can Shift+Left Arrow to deselect each space.

The double click will always pick up the space(s) after a word unless it is
immediately followed by a punctation mark. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Double-Click Copy/Paste in Word
So there is no way around this problem (did you read my initial post?)? It
seems weird to me that it wouldnt just pick up what Im double clicking on, as it has always done, for years, using my Lotus Word Pro, which I can no longer use as it is not supported by Win-7. I copy/paste Passwords all day every day, so this is a big hassle for me, as a new Word user. I guess I will [amazingly] have to put a 'period' after each of my passwords, so I can [double-click] copy/paste. -- Brian Kansas City "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: The double click will always pick up the space(s) after a word unless it is immediately followed by a punctation mark. -- Hope this helps.

It doesn't seem very secure that your passwords are written out in
some document somewhere ... but you don't need to "carefully drag the highlighting across the word": you can double-click and Shift-Left to deselect the space.

Your arrow key or the combination Shift-Left Arrow must have been
assigned to some different command. The arrow keys normally do not do anything but move the cursor. (You're not pressing Backspace, are you, which also shows a left-pointing arrow on the keytop?) If your password is written out where anyone can view it, it's not much of a password. On May 22, 9:17*pm, Brian .(donotspam) wrote: When I do that it erases the word.

I don't see what Lotus Pro has to do with the different behaviour of Word.
They are entirely different applications. However while it is not a particularly good idea to store your passwords in a document - there are plenty of password management applications around that would be more secure - you can address your immediate problem with a macro. Add the following macro to a toolbar button and use it to copy your password to the clipboard. It will eliminate any following spaces or paragraph mark (which would also be selected if you double click the last word in a paragraph) from your double click selection. Sub MyCopy() Dim oRng As Range If Len(Selection.Range) 1 Then Set oRng = Selection.Range Do While oRng.Characters.Last = Chr(32) Or _ oRng.Characters.Last = Chr(13) oRng.End = oRng.End - 1 Loop oRng.Copy Else MsgBox "Select the text first!" End If End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Brian" .(donotspam) wrote in message ...

Im sorry, you are correct, Shift-LeftArrow does move the highlighting back
one-space at a time, I mis-interpreted your message as Shift-LeftTab. Thanks for the tip. Ive also found that my idea of a 'period' at the end of the password works pretty good for quick double-click copy also. How else would a person keep track of hundreds of passwords, if they didnt write them down in an alphabetical order? No one else has access to my computer, unless they can access it some way that I am not aware of. -- Brian Kansas City "Peter T.

Thanks for the tip. Ive also found that my idea of a 'period' at the end of the password works pretty good for quick double-click copy also. How else would a person keep track of hundreds of passwords, if they didnt write them down in an alphabetical order? No one else has access to my computer, unless they can access it some way that I am not aware of. -- Brian Kansas City "Peter T.

(You're not pressing Backspace, are you, which also shows a left-pointing arrow on the keytop?) If your password is written out where anyone can view it, it's not much of a password.- |
