And how do I click in the middle of that word to set the
insertion point?
This is one of those problems/issues when supporting dragging
selecting text - you need to be able to distinguish between the user
actually wanting to drag & just reclicking inside the word. Usually
a time delay (determined by an OS setting on Mac OS & Windows, at
least) is used - ie. don't start the drag till after the time,
otherwise treat as a simple click.
