Whenever I select a section of text in MS Word, it automatically alters the selection to add or remove whitespace depending on the context of the selection.

With a Text Box, you have a box of text that can be used as a callout, will move and allow the text around it to flow, and with the Object inspector, can have background fill, border effects, etc. (be sure to also use the Text inspector to adjust the inset margin so the text isn't overshadowed by any border effects).

As a developer that works with plain text all day, I expect that when I place my curser over a character and click/drag backwards to select a group of text, that the place I initially clicked will be the end of the selection. However, Word seems to insist that in some cases it must also select some trailing spaces and/or newline characters.

How can I simply turn off all 'smart' selection behavior?

I have already deselected 'select entire word when selecting text' and while this is helpful, it still does not solve the problem of automatically selecting the newlines and spaces after the word. (e.g. if I click the end of a sentence and drag backwards a couple of lines, it will expand the selection to include the newline at the end of the sentence. likewise if I select a word and delete it, it deletes an additional space.)

I am using MS Word 2016 but this applies to all versions over the last 10-15 years or so.

You can listen to speech either with headphones or through the Kindle’s speaker. It’s the perfect option for long car rides. If your car’s audio system has an input jack for audio, you can connect the Kindle to it with a standard audio plug.

Kindle for PC is free to download and use, so if you have a Windows computer and need a text-to-speech program you don’t have to buy a separate device to read Kindle books aloud. Not all Kindle books support TTS but a lot of them do.

To disable this 'smart selection' for Outlook for Mac - and probably for the whole Microsoft Office suite for macOS - you have to install Microsoft Word and uncheck

As @daniel.sedlacek stated, While in Word For Mac 2019, go to the menu bar, Click on Word -> Preferences -> Edit.

Uncheck Select entire word when selecting text.

How To Get Rid Of Box Around Text In Word

I have the same problem

1. When selecting a paragraph, ensure that the selection end at the last character on the paragraph (not selecting a virtual space after the paragraph), or
2. When you paste, click paste option icon (appears under the pasted text) and select the last option (keep text only)

good luck
