How do I change a word's style and not select the whole word?

[Gypsymoke]

In PowerPoint, I can change a word's style (to bold, italics, or underline)
simply by clicking somewhere in the word and then clicking on the style I
want. However, in Word, I have to highlight the entire word in order to
change the style. Is there a way to click in the word and change the style
without having to select the whole word first?

Tools > Options > Edit (Word 2007 - Word Options > Advanced > Editing
Options) - check 'When selecting automatically select entire word'.
