Default How do I keep cursor from jumping to another word when I type?

Whenever I type the word "you" on a Word document, or within the text of my
email, the cursor jumps and part of the word skips over to another part of a
previous sentence. I have to manually move the cursor to where it should be
and retype the word slowly. How can I fix that problem?

Keep your hands away from the touch pad on your laptop - or turn down its
sensitivity. Some touch pads are so sensitive that they respond to heavy
fingered typing, in which case turn it off and use a mouse or trackball.
