>> cursor jumps

[Guest]

Hi, I'm not sure if this the appropriate discussion group for this question...

The problem is that as I'm typing text the text moves to the right beyond
the insertion point (even though the insertion point has remained in the same
location). So that instead of entering characters to the right of existing
text, the insertion point is several characters to the left of the end of the
text I am entering. This means that I first have to delete a bunch of
characters and then move the insertion point to the end before continuing on.

On other occasions I TAB to indent the line and the insertion point first
moves to the right of the TAB. Then the insertion point moves back as though
there had never been a TAB!

This only seems to happen when entering a new line of text. That is, I press
ENTER and then begin entering on a new line. Then several key strokes later
the insertion point moves back.


How do I stop this?!

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated

Thanks, Jonathan

For what program does this happen? Depending on which one you might
want to post your question to a newsgroup specific to that program.
Here is a list of MS public newsgroups: http://aumha.org/nntp.htm

The most possible cause of the problem could be wrong alignment of the
paragraph. If you are using Microsoft Word then there could be following
reasons:

1. You always create a new paragraph using the Tab Key instead of Entry. So
whenever you insert a new word into the paragraph, it disturbed all the
alignments.

2. Wrong Left, Right, Center & Justify alignment. You must check that you
have not set the paragraph alignment to Right side.

3. Default settings has changed. Any of Paragraph setting has been changed
and set to the default. So (may be) you are facing the same problem in every
new and old document.

Post reply, if any solution works.
