jumping curser
When I type using Word 2003, The courser jumps all over the place and starts
typing there. Like in the middle of a word in a line or two away from where I am typing. Sometime it goes to a new space in the middle of the page. I was typing in an email that was forwarding and then suddenly I was typing in the email address part from the person I was forwarding. There is no notice just you have to look to find where the courser is typing. Any ideas? |

Do you have a laptop with a touchpad? Often this problem is caused by
inadvertently brushing the touchpad. You can probably change the touchpad sensitivity in Windows Control Panel. -- Suzanne S.

Brenda...I have exactly the same problem. I type 10 characters then "bam"
the curser moves to another spot on the page...I type 100 charcters "bam" it jumps again. And, on and on and on! This is extremely frustrating. I took the suggestion regarding the touch pad. I don't think this is the problem. I am at a loss and I am sure Brenda is in the same boat.

This has nothing to do with a laptop. We are having this problem in office
with our computers. So this is a software problem. There needs to be a fix for this problem. How? I don't know but mircosoft needs to address this problem. "Suzanne S.

jumping curser
I know this is an old post, but I'm having this problem as well and haven't
been able to find a solution. Everyone seems to think this is a touch pad issue, but it didn't happen when I was using Word 2003, only since I upgraded to Word 2007. It's not as random as people think, it happens when a word is automatically line wrapped. You type the word, it drops to the next line, and BAM... you are staring at the middle of your document. If anyone has a solution to this problem (and please don't tell me to disable my touchpad/stik), I'm all for it. "Dwhite" wrote: Brenda...I have exactly the same problem.
