Link to issue number:

Fixes #15019

Summary of the issue:

NVDA only fetches object text range information if "report headings" and "report comments and notes" are enabled.
This only happens when using the object model.
This causes a crash when attempting to update the caret, as we try to fetch range information that hasn't been generated by nvdaHelper.

Description of user facing changes

Fix crash in Microsoft Word when Document formatting options "report headings" and "report comments and notes" were not enabled.

Description of development approach

Always fetch range information, regardless of these options.

Testing strategy:

Test STR in #15019 with UIA and Object model
