Programs (like Word) do not do this without receiving input. The most likely
cause on a laptop is the touchpad and I don't know what you have done to
verify that is not the problem. The only other common cause is voice
activated software and a switched on microphone.

My cursor jumps around while typing in Word and/or Outlook. I know I'm
not
hitting arrow keys, home/end/pageup/pagedown. I am using a laptop and I
have
verified that the touchpad is not causing the problem. Is there a problem
in
Word that causes this to happen? If so, is there a way to fix it?
Thanks!
