Why does selecting the end of a cell select the entire cell?
Problem: Selecting the text at the end of a cell causes the entire cell to be selected. I can go into details to recreate it or explain it, but I suspect it's already familiar to most of you. Yo...
Strictly speaking, the entire cell becomes selected when you select (inadvertently or intentionally) the end-of-cell marker, which is represented by a ยค symbol when you display nonprinting marks in Word.
Turning off the option "When selecting, automatically select entire word" at File > Options > Advanced may improve the situation. At least doing so makes it easier to select individual text characters.
- I will have to look into that. Wow.
