Default why does my cursor move to a different place while i type in word

the cursor seems to move to a different spot in the document while i type in
Word 2007 and so my text is typed in the wrong spot and i have to go back and
delete it. i have checked for macros, as i thought it might be problem, but
none are set. there doesn't seem to be any consistency about when it happens
(like it is not just when i am typing certain letters). it is most
annoying....

Laptop? Check the touchpad settings. Sometimes "vigorous" typing can activate
an over-sensitive one and make the cursor jump. (And I've been known to
accidentally brush my thumb over it as well.) It looks like a Word problem,
but it isn't really...
