Don't have sticky keys on and I can't reload word since this is a company
computer and they would look askance at me doing that. (Don't have the disc
anyway.) I checked the keyboard settings (it's the same keyboard I used
before, a microsoft model) and every other setting, option and customization
feature I could think of. Still, it doesn't work, and that's a pain because
my fingers are trained to use that keyboard combination to get around
documents.

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?
