Right--and I should have corrected the misstatement... Even so, however,
Ctrl+Left arrow should skip to the previous word not only in Outlook and
Word, but in just about every Windows application that displays text. So,
if it's not happening, then something is interfering with the keystrokes.

To add to Herb's reply, please note that Outlook 2007 does NOT use Word
as its email editor. It now uses its own editor which mimics Word 2007 in
many ways but runs in its own dll. Any changes made to Word's options are
not conveyed to the Outlook editor: you need to set up the options for
Outlook separately.

I am using Outlook 2007, which (I am told) is using Word 2007 for its
Compose Email window.

I compose messages in HTML format. Sometimes, in the Compose window,
when I try to do Ctrl + Left Arrow to jump to the previous word, nothing
happens. I have to press Ctrl + Left Arrow several times for the editor
to actually respond.

Is this a problem anyone has seen? I've tried the Outlook NG, but they
sent me here.
