Justin,

One quick fix would be to add alt-w to the beginning of the macro. If 
there is a selection at hand, the command doesn't do anything (so the 
selection keeps intact), but if there's no selection, it selects the 
word you were typing. I think this is the behavior you'd want in 99% of 
the cases and at least you'd get rid of the "select the whole file" 
bug.

I've used the trick in all of my macros (that it suits) and have had no 
problems with it.
