how do I stop my cursor from jumping when I type?

When I am typing sentences (in Word, or Outlook particularly), half way
through a sentence the cursor jumps to a different part of the paragraph,
totally unprompted by me! How can I prevent this from happening? I'm using
Windows XP.

Using a Laptop with a Touchpad?

If so, try desensitising the touchpad or possibly disable the double-click
option in the touchpad settings.

Hi TF, thanks, yes I AM using a laptop, where are the touchpad settings?
(sorry if I'm being a bit thick)

Not at all. Open the Control Panel and one of the applets should be for the
Touchpad - rather similar to the mouse applet in the Control Panel).
