Default How do I stop my text moving around in my document as I type?

As I type text on a document on my laptop the text suddenly starts typing in
another part of the document. This means the words become jumbled and I have
to retype the text. I have tried saving every few minutes but the typing
cursor still moves the text. Any help or advice greatly received as it it is
taking so long to type my essay.

Your laptop has a touch pad? If so, you are probably inadvertently touching
it. You should be able to adjust its sensitivity to reduce/eliminate the
problem.

Hope this helps.
