What happens when you double-click on a word in MS Word?

In Microsoft Word, when you double-click on any word using your mouse or touchpad, the entire word is instantly selected or highlighted. This feature is designed to help users quickly format, cut, copy, or delete text without manually dragging across the letters. Highlighting a word with a double-click is a fast and efficient way to edit or modify text during document preparation.

Here’s how it works:
Place your cursor over any word in your document and double-click it. MS Word will automatically select the entire word, including punctuation if attached. This is useful when you want to change the font, make the word bold, or copy it for use somewhere else.
