cursor moves to where my pointer is while i type

[sesquipedalian]

while i am typing in Word or in blogs my cursor will move to the location of
the pointer instead of remaining at the end of the last line that i typed.
for example, right now while typing this message, the cursor jumped up to the
first line of text and i started typing in the middle of that sentence.

if my pointer is above the last line of text that i have typed, instead of
newly typed words appearing where they belong, at the end of the line that i
am typing, they will appear wherever the pointer happens to be located.

this takes place about once every few minutes, and if i am not looking at
the screen while i type, then big chucks of text will get cramned in the
middle of text that was types some time ago instead of at the end of the
message.

a) This group is for the discussion of Microsoft Publisher. I'm not sure
what your question has to do with Publisher, but I'll answer it anyway...

b) You're using a laptop, with a touchpad. Your hand is brushing the
touchpad as you type, and your laptop is accidentally recognising it as
a click. Turn down the sensitivity in your touchpad driver, and your
problems should vapourise.
