I have Mac Word version 16.89. I cannot click and drag to cut or copy individual sentences or phrases in texts. When I click once, only a single word is highlighted, and when I click twice, an entire paragraph or a whole document is highlighted. I want to click and drag to copy or cut sentences, phrases as I could with earlier versions. Please help.

Typically as OS issue requiring updates to OS, Office or both. I see nothing about the OS version but the cited Office version is a bit behind. Version 16.90.2 is current.
