Cursor jumps to different lines for no reason while typing
When I type in Word or Outlook 2007 or even this Internet Explorer form on my
laptop, my cursor jumps to different lines or another part of the same line for no reason as I type and it is quite the pain. Any idea what causes this? I have Office Professional 2007 with Windows Vista. Is this the operating system or Office 2007? |

Cursor jumps to different lines for no reason while typing
Unlike most people who report this problem, you actually admit you're
using a laptop! The problem is often an over-sensitive touchpad: see if you can turn it off when a mouse is plugged in, or if you can turn down its sensitivity with some control panel gadget.

Cursor jumps to different lines for no reason while typing
I used to have this problem, too. It turned out that as I was typing, my
thumbs were sometimes accidently touching the touch screen that is below the keyboard on the laptop. This caused my cursor to jump to somewhere else on the screen. Since I usually use a mouse, I didn't need access to the touch screen. I solved the problem by taping a paper over the touch screen. Hope this helps.
