Skipping Cursor??

[Gran gran Vicki]

As I am typing in WORD, my cursor suddenly skips to another line or perhaps
to several previous words on the same line. What is causing this? How can I
fix it? This problem really slows down my typing and accuracy. This happens
in my documents as well as my emails. I am using MS WORD OFFICE 2003.
Thanks.

You're using a laptop. Avoid brushing the touchpad, or find the
control for turning down its sensitivity (it might be reacting to the
vibrations of the keys), or see if it can be disconnected when a mouse
is plugged in.
