Having issues with the Magic Wand tool

I want to select only one word of a group of characters. The problem that I'm having is, when I go to click one of the letters it selects all the characters in that word. How would I only select one character at a time?

-Thanks for the help,
Rich

You don't use the magic wand to select characters, but the type tool.
Single click insert the cursor
Double click selects word
Triple click selects the whole sentence...

It would be a good idea to check your user guide about the tools and their uses...

I knew that already, what I'm trying to do is put an orange boarder around my white words. The problem I'm coming across is when I try to select the first letter in the word Mind it selects the full word Mind not just the M....

Well, select the whole word, then go to the rectangular marquee tool. Hold down ALT and drag over the letters you don't want. This will subtract them from the selection.
