Default Question about selecting text w/mouse

Word 2007. When selecting text with the mouse in the usual left button manner, Word "helps" by including text it "thinks" I want. For example, when selecting this way from left to right, if I attempt to include the space at the beginning of the word I'm trying to select, the app includes the word to the left of that space. Similarly, if I try to select a portion of a word, leaving, say, the 1st few letters, it will "help me" by including those letters, though I didn't intend that. I'd rather it just let me select what I want. Can this behavior be turned off?
