Default Erratic behavior

Not sure if this problem is a laptop issue, Windows XP, or something else.
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 8200 with 1 Gb of RAM, Windows XP SP2, and MS Word
2002.

Every so often when I'm typing away, the characters will stop appearing on
the screen and then quickly reappear elsewhere in the document--a few lines
away arbitrarily in the middle of words or sentences. Then I have to stop
and correct the text. Am I unknowingly hitting a wrong key? What causes this
problem, and how do I stop it? Thanks. --Arthur
