In Word, I used to be able to put the cursor within a word like this:
anno|ying, and then click control-B, or control-I, or control-U to bold,
italicize or underline the entire word. Then my computer crashed and I had to
reinstall Word. Now I must highlight/select the entire word to change its
attributes. How do I set Word to do like it did before?

Tools-->Options, Edit tab. "When selecting, select whole word" needs to be
checked.
