Office (Word) 2007 question

Is there a option that can be changed, so that when I copy something out of a word doc, only what I want copied will be?
When I copy something now, it highlights now the word or words and everything up to the next set of words. Even if it's on the other side of the page.

Hope that makes sense :)

Thanks

You can make Word copy what you want rather than what Bill Gates thinks you want, but it takes a little effort. If you move the cursor slowly back and forth, that ususally allows you to select what you want. You can also position the vertical bar cursor at the beginning or end of the selection you want and then move the mouse cursor to the other end and shift click. That also usually works. Another method is below:
