The changed behavior, which I'm told is not a bug, makes text boundaries useless in Word 2013 (unless you open a document in compatibility mode).

Hi Stefan,

Is there a way to go back to the previous behavior?

As I wrote, you will have to save your document in an older file format for text boundaries to "behave."
