Enhancement: In MS Office, always announce ribbon section when using control+arrows #7067

Description

@Qchristensen

In Microsoft Office, after pressing, for instance, alt+h to move to the home ribbon, when you press control+right arrow to move between sections on the current ribbon, NVDA announces the new section only if the first control is a button. If the first control is an edit box (eg the font name edit in the font section of Word's home ribbon), then the ribbon section is not announced.

When you press control+right arrow to move to the next section, NVDA first announces "Home grouping" before (in this case) "Paragraph grouping" which is likely relevant.

Expected behaviour: when moving to a new ribbon section, NVDA should announce it before announcing the current control.
