Hi, i have an annoying problem with my office 7. As i write and get say 3-5 paragraphs down the page (or even 3-5 pages in) it will suddenly jump back to the top of what ever i am writing. I then have to scroll back down to where i was working and start typing again. Is their a way to stop this?

Thanks
Monbade

Are you maybe accidentally touching the keyboard shortcut for "Go to top
of document" -- that is, Ctrl-Home (on the numeric keypad)?

I wish, but no. I will be writing and it just jumps to the top of the page. Then i scroll back down to where i was and can see what i was typing to start over again.

If you start Word in Safe mode, as part of troubleshooting, does that still
happen?

just tried it and yes.

In that case, the problem may very well be hardware-related. Are you typing
on a laptop with a touchpad? Try disabling the touchpad and use a mouse
instead.

no its a desk top pc. So its not a hardware. I will be typing and it just jumps to the top of the page. its frustrating because being a writer, this really slows me down.

For a desktop PC, try a different keyboard and a different mouse.

There is nothing in Word that can cause the insertion point to jump, except
possibly for poorly designed add-ins (which you have ruled out by
unsuccessfully running in Word's Safe mode).
