[OE]

I have recently installed a wireless keyboard & mouse. I have just
discovered that when using Word now, when I try to select a portion of
script with Ctrl/shift keys,the highlight comes off at the end of a word. I
can't remember if I set this up with my old keyboard or if I am missing
something.

Help would be appreciated.

TIA

When selecting by using Ctrl+Shft+dragging with the mouse, the space
following the Word is being selected IF you have the option selected to
'When selecting, automatically select entire word'. You can toggle this off
under the Edit tab in Tools, Options.

But what if user does not want to use mouse - just Ctrl+Shift+Right Arrow?
