It's possible that you have misunderstood the original questioner.

o Clicking and dragging selects text generally. That works in a 
presentation (Impress) document as well as in a text (Writer) one.

o Double-clicking selects the current word. That also works in both 
types of document.

o Double-clicking and then dragging *without first releasing the 
mouse button* selects the current word and then expands the selection 
word by word instead of character by character. The questioner points 
out that this useful technique works in Writer but not in Impress.
