--- Comment #19 from Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> ---
The option in MS Word is Advanced > When selecting, automatically select entire
word

"Select this option to select entire words when you select part of one word and
then part of the next word. Turning this option on also causes Outlook to
select a word and the space that follows it when you double-click a word."

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/editor-options-advanced-0b2b5644-41e2-42c4-990b-60ca36615600

If I start the selection before the last character of Alpha and continue
right-wards to Bravo, the entire Alpha is automatically selected if this
checkbox is on (the default). But formatting like ctrl+B or U is also applied
to the entire word only if this checkbox is on. And consequently I can use
ctrl+U as true toggle.

We should not introduce the option in the sense of a selection. But I can
imagine something like "[x] Formatting expands to word boundaries".

(Thanks for patiently explaining the request.)
