Word on new computer - Jumping Cursor - Help!!
I have a new notebook and my cursor often automatically jumps to wherever my
mouse is positioned on my document, or, if the mouse is positioned over another screen it will jump to that screen. Obviously this causes me a LOT of problems when I am typing documents, with words cutting into the middle of others, etc. How can I shut this off?!?! I'm a teacher working on a double MA this summer, and this is killing me. Thank you in advance |

Word on new computer - Jumping Cursor - Help!!
The problem is usually the touchpad. As you type, your thumbs or fingers
are touching it, giving the equivalent of a mouse click, which sets the cursor where the mouse is pointing. You can see if there's a sensitivity setting, or if you've got an external mouse attached then just turn the thing off (my personal choice - I hate those things!).
