Dear Microsoft Word,
Please stop trying to outsmart me. I promise you that I really want to select the letters I drag the mouse across, and not the surrounding words.
Thanks,

This is one reason why journals should not require submissions in MS Word format. Gar.
Hey Brock,
Lifehacker had an article on how to make Word less annoying, and I believe it covers this. In any case, it’s worth reading for Word power-users…

Thanks! That did the trick. I try to avoid Word but a lot of journals now require it. The menu sequence is a little different on a mac but the option is the same.
I am not trying to ask a question. So stop putting a question mark.
ANNE.
