please help, please?

[Mike Gartner]

Hi, I have been having a problem with Word. I start to
type and all of a sudden, the word I am typing shows up
somewhere else in the document. If i am not watching the
screen, I can type an entire sentence or paragraph and
have it show up somehere in the begining of the
document. It is driving me crazy!. The problem is the
words that I am typing are not following the order. they
wind up randomly placed in the middle of a previous
sentence or paragraph. Any help would be great. thanks
in advance.

Welcome to the club!

These symptoms are usually caused by
* thumbs dragging on a laptop touchpad
* local wireless interference from a telephone handset, or ham radio (which
may be operated by a certain MVP's husband )

If something doesn't make sense, it could be worse e.g.

Mike- Thanks for the quick response, any suggestions

on how to fix this glitch? I do have a laptop with a
touchpad and a wiresless set up. The problem is
happening as I write this response, really pissing me off.
Again, thanks for your help, any suggestions would be
appreciated.

If ýou have a wireless source nearby move it away. If you have thumbs on the
touchpad, move them away too.
