Text Jumping:

Question

When typing in WORD 2007, the text jumping all over the place.  The cursor will jump, sometimes back to the beginning of a sentence or sometimes to another line all together.  This is frusturating to say the least.  I am so disappointed with this new version of WORD

Answer 1

Are you using a laptop or a desktop computer?

Usually this issue occurs due to high sensitivity of touchpad. Refer the link below which describes similar issue.

Answer 2

Are you typing on a laptop/notebook/netbook computer with a touch pad mouse thingy.  If so, you are probably inadvertently moving the mouse cursor by brushing the keypad as you type.

Try reducing its sensitivity or disable it altogether and use an external mouse.

Answer 3

• I don't think it's 2007, I use 2003 and the very same thing happens.  I type very fast and this is causing a major problem.

Answer 4

I plan to call Microsoft.  This is crazy to have a product out there and noone offers help.  This is crazy and we are too for not demading an answer from Bill Gates.  In the meantime, I will have Windows 7 taken off my computer so I can get some work done using WORD 2003
