Possessed Curser in MS Outlook and word 2003.
Curser jumps to a new section of text and starts typing from that point on.
Eg: if I am replying to an email, I hit reply, then I begin typing the new
email reply, as I type the curser will jump to any section of the original
message and start typing from the point on without any action from me. As
was the case when I type this request for assistants, the curser simply jumps
back a number of characters, moves up or down one or two lines as I type, for
no reason, almost like someone is pushing the tab key only not as uniform,
the curser can end up anywhere on a page of text, this happens in both MS
outlook or word 2003 which I use as my default word processor. Can anyone
help me?

Is this a laptop? With a touchpad? Could you be brushing it inadvertently?
You may need to change the sensitivity.

No Suzanne, I don't touch the keypad, my typing is two finger and therefore
no contact with the pad. I will be typing and suddenly you look up at the
screen to check the writing and you find you have just typed over a section
of the initial message or it skipped 10 - 15 characters back over what you
have just typed... Its a very strange occurrence and Im surprised no one
else has the same problem.

Hi Suzanne,
Yes I have a wireless Mouse (Logitech MX 900) and speach rec software,
however, I have double checked that the mike is off and unpluged. I also make
sure the batteries are fully charged. Thanks for your help so far. cheers,
George

Some users have reported interference from machine noise when speech
recognition is enabled. I'm afraid that RFI, speech recognition, and the
touchpad are the only causes we have identified.

Thanks Suzanne, I will check to see if there is anything else that I have
operating nearby which maybe causing the interference. Thanks again, regards,

What did you finally do to resolve the problem? Thanks. Another George
