Open the Tools Customize dialog and click the Keyboard button at the
bottom. Select "All Commands" in the Categories list and "Word Left"
in the Commands list. You should see Ctrl+Left in the Current Keys
box.
If it isn't there, put the cursor in the "Press new shortcut key" box
and press the Ctrl+Left arrow combination, then click the Assign
button. Repeat for the "Word Right" command and the Ctrl+Right
shortcut.

I figured out what you meant about loading word from the startrun process.
That didn't work either. I still can't use that keyboard combination. Very
weird.

The key combinations of Ctrl + left arrow or right arrow still work fine in
Word 2003 running on Windows XP. Do you have sticky keys enabled? (I suspect
you would notice if you did.)
Try loading Word using
Start Run "winword.exe /a" (note the space before the /a)
Does it work then? If so your problem is a customization or an Add-In. If
not, your problem is likely in Windows.

With a previous incarnation of Word on a computer running Windows 2000
professional, I was able to skip from word to word in a sentence using the
combination of control + either the left or the right arrow key. I just
got a
new computer running XP, and it does not seem to allow that combination of
keys. Anyone know a fix?
