Default Word 2016 inserts a minus sign with spaces around it when Ctrl+Num+- is used


I've recently switched from Word 2007 to Word 2016. In Word 2007, pressing Ctrl+Num+- inserted an en dash without spaces around it. But in Word 2016, the result is a minus sign with spaces around it.

I'd rather not have to use Symbols or hold down the Alt key and type 0150 on the numeric keypad to insert an en dash, which I use frequently. Is there a non-macro way to do this quickly?
