move/select by word broken for .SQL files in text editor

In VS 2003, if I edit a .SQL file, then using the arrow keys to move back and
forth by words, or using control-click to select a word, doesn't work in
comments and quoted strings.  It selects the entire string or the entire
comment line.  This forces one to do most of one's editing there by mouse
clicks.  Is there any workaround to get it to stop acting this way?

Also, the editor has got several SQL types defined: SQL, PL/SQL, T-SQL,
T-SQL7, and T-SQL80.  Is there any way to tell it which one of these a ".sql"
file should be treated as?  They go to T-SQL80 at present, I believe, but
they're actually PL/SQL.  And is there any way to have it edit files with
other endings, such as ".bod", as PL/SQL?

Maybe if I got it into PL/SQL mode, it wouldn't have these problems with the
word boundaries...?

helllloooooooooo.........???

Further information: I tried this in somebody else's VS 2003 and they had
the same problem, but their VS 2005 didn't have it.
