I'd have a menu option that turns on a flashing cursor on the page. Then use the d-pad to move the cursor to a word (up / down / left / right). Finally a press of the middle d-pad would select the word that the cursor is nearest (if the cursor is in the middle of a word then that whole word gets selected, if the cursor is at the beginning of a word then the word to the right of the cursor is selected). A bit like how you can double-click on a word in most programs and the whole word gets selected without you having to actually point to the beginning of the word, clicking, and dragging to the end of the word.
