Thanks for the info. It happens to me too. I thought it was something I was
doing. It really is a pain especially if you don't notice it right away.

It happens in all applications on my laptop - it isn't limited to
Word. Perhaps you notice it more because you type more in Word?

Very many thanks Beth. First logical explanation that would link
the
touchpad to the problem. Also, your suggestion to lower the
sinsitivity -
sounds right.
I'll try it.
Nonetheless it is odd that with the huge number of laptops using
MS Word
- the problem seems to worry so FEW?
Best wishes,
Leo

I have the same problem on mine and I've lowered the sensitivity as
far as it will go. My workaround is to use an external keyboard.
