Mouse/Cursor Error
I'm typing in Word 2007, with the mouse pointer idle further down the page,
suddenly in the middle of typing I find I'm typing further down the page
where the mouse pointer was idle, the typing cursor just jumped to where the
mouse pointer was. Does anyone have an idea on how to stop this.

You are using a laptop.

The touchpad is too sensitive and the double-click to simulate left mouse
click is being activated. You should be able to find the touchpad setup in
the Control Panel which will let you either desensitize the touchpad or
disable the double-click option.
