Default cursor jumps when entering text

In Word 2003, on my Sony Vaio laptop everytime I'm typing sentences the
cursor jumps up randomly into the middle of a prior typed statement on the
page. There isn't a problem with the touch pad or USB connect mouse (they're
connected at the same time but it hasn't been an issue before.) This just
started a couple of days ago. Any ideas?

The usual causes of this problem are an over-sensitive touch pad (most
common - keep the heels of your hands away from it) and an unwelcome
intrusion of voice recognition software (turn off the microphone)

The OP has already eliminated the touchpad.

The OP said there wasn't a problem with the touch pad - not the use of it
