Default While typing in word 2007 the cursor suddenly jumps up a fewlines

On a laptop, right? You're accidentally brushing your touchpad, or
maybe it's set too sensitive and is reacting to vibrations from the
keystrokes. See if you can disable it whan a mouse is plugged in, or
if there's a setting in the hardware for turning down the sensitivity.

At times suddenly some of the text that I just typed is selected and then
deleted as I continue typing. *Another hot key combination that I'm not sure
what it is and how to turn it off.
