Added a well deserved reward bounty to a Mac question -- I had no idea Macs DO NOT allow you to move word by word with keyboard shortcuts out of the box! https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/52147/control-arrow-key-to-jump-to-the-next-word

I have OS X 10.6.8 and I run MS Word:Mac 2011. I programmed the keyboard to allow me to jump from word to word in a document by hitting Control + Arrow key. This makes word processing much faster. However, I lost this ability after an update some time ago. Now, when I hit Control + Arrow key OS X cycles through what I believe are Spaces on my desktop.

This is hugely annoying and I have no interest in using Spaces. I am perfectly happy to switch between apps using Alt + Tab. How do I go back to being able to use Control + Arrow key to navigate in a document in MS Word?

Thanks!
