Add the lasso select tool to Word
Please add the Lasso Select tool to the Word (2019) Draw tab.

Thanks, I tried this solution and it was good but it is not like Lasso select tool; Do I need to have special access to use this tool? Is there a solution? (My Word version is 2019 and I recently updated it.)

Select Objects does let you use drag & drop to select all objects in an area of a Word document. It is working just fine here:
Is it not working for you?
Or are you looking for some other tool?

I want all the components I draw to be separable, for example, the number 2 can be separated from x ^ 2, which with this tool will not be separable all the components, but can be done with the Lasso select tool.
It can be seen in the picture.- Stefan_BlomOct 27, 2021MVP
OK, you are referring to the Ink Selection tool. I don't think you can add that particular command to the Quick Access Toolbar (but I could be wrong). I haven't managed to locate it at least. 😞
