word cursor problem

Bill Millsap

I will be typing along in Office 2003, word, on my laptop
when all of a sudden the cursor jumps to a different
location. When I look at the doc. the words are all
scrambled. Can anyone help me with this problem.

Thanks

Bill

The most frequent cause of such behavior I've encountered has been that
Speech is turned on (Tools - Speech), and either the microphone is picking
up stray sounds and interpreting them as commands, or the system is picking
up staticky sounds and interpreting them as commands. Of course, there's
always the outside chance that your computer is haunted.
