The usual causes of this problem are an over-sensitive touch pad (most
common - keep the heels of your hands away from it) and an unwelcome
intrusion of voice recognition software (turn off the microphone)

In Word 2003, on my Sony Vaio laptop everytime I'm typing sentences
the cursor jumps up randomly into the middle of a prior typed
statement on the page. There isn't a problem with the touch pad or
USB connect mouse (they're connected at the same time but it hasn't
been an issue before.) This just started a couple of days ago. Any
ideas?
