Random cursor
While typing my cusor is randomly jumping to a different place in the
document. It happens after about every 8-10 words typed. Any ideas? |

Are you using notebook with a touchpad that serves as a mouse? If so, you
are probably inadvertently touching the pad. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Thanks Doug,
I have been aware of that possibility, so I have been very careful and it still jumps randomly. I t only happens in Word. It doesn't happen in Publisher or PowerPoint. Any ideas?

What kind of computer do you have? I had a Dell Inspiron and had this
problem. The vibration of typing caused this problem - it even happened when the fan kicked on. My workaround was to use an external keyboard. :-( Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Thanks Beth,
I have an HP, and I will try another Keyboard and see if there is a difference "Beth Melton" wrote: What kind of computer do you have? I had a Dell Inspiron and had this problem.

Another option would be to use an external mouse and to turn the touchpad
off (I could tell you how to do this on most Toshibas, but not on an HP). Personally, I almost always use an external mouse and keyboard with my laptop when I have a lot of work to do... fortunately, they fit easily into my laptop backpacks. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Author of the Word 2007 Bible Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.
