Hi Luke,
There's a Big Three for Strange Behavior like this. Try these in the order given. 1. Rename (all instances of) Normal.dot (find them with Windows Explorer, be sure to have Word closed at the time), or 2. Choose Help | Detect and repair, or 3. Reinstall Word. Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.

A more likely cause on a laptop is accidentally triggering (not necessarily
by directly touching) a sensitive touchpad. -- Enjoy, Tony "Cooz" wrote in message ... Hi Luke, There's a Big Three for Strange Behavior like this. Try these in the order given. 1.
