I'm having a problem with my cursor. When I type my paper, the letters
appear where the blinking cursor is. But if I stop, the cursor appears where
the mouse pointer is and when I begin typing again, it types it the location
of the mouse pointer. I won't notice until I look at the screen and it
confuses me. How can I get rid of this setting?

You have "Click and Type" enabled. (Anybody actually USE this "feature"?)

In Word 2003

Go to Tools -Options - Edit Tab - and uncheck the "Click and Type" box at
the bottom.

That still didn't work. As I continue typing, sometimes the text will get
highlighted or erased.
