Wrong message reported when toggling native selection in Word #16097

@CyrilleB79

Description

@CyrilleB79

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open a document in MS Word
  • Enable browse mode with NVDA+space
  • Press NVDA+shift+F10

Actual behavior:

NVDA says "Application native selection mode not supported in this document"

Expected behavior:

NVDA should say "Application native selection mode cannot be disabled in this document" or "Application native selection mode cannot be disabled in this application".
Indeed, the native selection is always made in Word when selecting in Browse mode.
Same for Outlook of course.
