We might need more information about exactly what's happening. But, a couple
of things to check: 1. See if Tools - Speech is checked. If so, this can sometimes cause the problem you're seeing. 2. Do you have a wireless mouse and/or keyboard? If so, it's possible that other devices are interfering. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "vntroberts" wrote in message ...

Tools - Speech isn't checked.
I'm using a DELL Latitude laptop, Windows XP - the only devices connected are a printer and mouse. The problem seems to have developed since I had a new modem fitted - could this be causing the problem? Although I seem to recall experiencing the same problem when the laptop was new - not to the same extent though. As I type I find the cursor frequently jumps back to some other (apparently random) point in the text - this may be in the same word, the same line or several lines further up (it's happened several times while typing this message) - VERY frustrating! Any further suggestions? "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: We might need more information about exactly what's happening. But, a couple of things to check: 1. See if Tools - Speech is checked.
