Why does the cursor erratically jump to the left when typing

Office 2003 is installed. When I type, the cursor erratically jumps to the
left, often into the middle of a word. How do I fix this?

Could you be using an optical mouse on a "busy" mousepad? When Dell
transitioned from a ball mouse to an optical mouse, they were still sending
out a mouse pad with a diamond background to it. This tended to make the
cursor jump erratically around the screen.
