When I'm typing in Word on my laptop, the cursor keeps going back to a previous point in the document, sometimes when I'm in the middle of a word, and often without my noticing, so that i'm overwriting previously typed text. This is very annoying when I'm transcribing from a tape, as I lose text and often can't remember what it said, so I have to rewind the tape and retype sometimes quite a large amount. This only seems to happen with laptops and not PCs. Why does it happen and can it be stopped? If so, how?

I've got the same problem! My husband tells me it's because the page I'm on isn't finished loading. I only have that problem on my laptop and *ahem* on Yahoo. For some reason when my Yahoo pages load if they're not completely finished loading (so hubbies correct) then my cursor jumps and many times what I'd started to type is deleted.

through fact you're letting your palms drop in the direction of the mouse pad. they only might desire to get close. the two conceal it with some thing like a corporation card on a similar time as typing longer records, or you may desire to connect an exterior mouse and disable it. you may desire to highlight any textual content from the incorrect area and use decrease and paste to reposition it.
