What kind of computer do you have? I had a Dell Inspiron and had this
problem. The vibration of typing caused this problem - it even happened when
the fan kicked on. My workaround was to use an external keyboard. :-(

Thanks Doug,
I have been aware of that possibility, so I have been very careful and it
still jumps randomly. I t only happens in Word. It doesn't happen in
Publisher or PowerPoint.
Any ideas?

While typing my cusor is randomly jumping to a different place in the
document. It happens after about every 8-10 words typed. Any ideas?
