Default My cursor keeps moving to another text box.

When I try to use my arrow keys to move down in my text box my cursor jumps

and what can I do to change it?


a couple of possible explanations come to mind:

1. The text boxes are linked so that text flows from one to the other.
2. The document is protected in some sections or areas, and when you get
to a protected area, Word puts you "back where you belong" ... :-)
3. The touchpad of your laptop is taking your involuntary touches literally.
