Outlook 2016 ctrl-arrow key navigation not working

I have a problem in the email-editor in Outlook 2016. Normally I can use ctrl-left arrow and ctrl-right arrow to move the cursor in the editor by a word. This works in every text field on my PC except in Outlook.
I am at a loss to what setting can influence this. In every other Office program the ctrl-left arrow and ctrl-right arrow function like they should. Its a Windows 10 PC, Outlook 2016 is of the Office 365 click-to-run variety and up to date.

You may just test in Outlook safe mode (outlook /safe) to see whether it was caused due to a problematic add-in.

- click on "Read Aloud" again (the control panel disappears)

I had the exact same issue.
Couldn't figure out how to resolve it, so finally went back to the e-mail that created the issue in the first place. (I was trying to insert the cent symbol, i.e., "¢" in an e-mail when it first started to happen.)
At any rate, I went into that open message, clicked to the Insert tab and then clicked "Symbol-->More Symbols"(at the bottom once you click on Symbol).
When the dialogue box opened, the font it had defaulted to was"Symbol," so I clicked on that drop down, scrolled to the top to select "Normal," inserted a symbol, and voila! It was fixed.
Don't know if this will work for others, but hopefully it might.

It's much simpler than all that!
CTRL ALT SPACEBAR toggles the reading stuff.
It's all too easy to hit that combination by accident!
