Default jumping cursor

When I am typing a sentence in Word, half way through a sentence, the cursor
will jump to a different place in the text. If I don't immediately notice
it, I have to back off the misplaced letters, scroll down to where I was and
continue typing. It is driving me nuts. I have Word 2007, and a laptop
with a wireless mouse and keyboard therefore I am not brushing the touchpad
with my fingers. Others have written about this and one suggestion was to
disable the touchpad. I have gone to Control Panel and cannot find any place
to disable the touchpad. Another thought was to disable the Speech
Recognition which I don't find either. I don't know whether it is enabled or
not. I have a Dell Inspiron E 1505 laptop.

Thanks for any help you might offer. Fidelco Foster
