Skipping while writing

[JD]

While writing in Word, the curser will skip to different
areas. When it skips to a sections already written, it
will write into the previous section. I can't locate way
to correct this in the tool options. This is very
frustrating when writing large documents.

Please help.

Is this a laptop? Keep your hands away from the touch pad while typing!

Cordless mouse, with low battery or a cellphone sitting on the receiver, can
behave like this too.

It can also be a virus.

I had a friend who had a virus that caused Word to type
words on it's own. He would start typing, take his hands
off the keyboard, and watch the cursor to continue to type
random words. It was a virus, and very wierd.

That is commonly caused by speech recognition software.
