how do i remove a bug in outlook?

[Guest]

Outlook 2002 - was working very well. Recently almost everytime i type a new
email message and use the letter "t" (without quotes) the curser jumps to
somewhere else on the screen. Very irritating. Can anyon ehelp me please?

That sounds like a hardware or addin issue of some sort. When did this start
happening? Did you install anything recently? Are you using a laptop with
integrated pointing device?

Sorry for the plethora of questions but you've got an odd issue...

It started to all to happen on my old Sony notebook. I now bought a Qosmio
and transferred data though installed My Office 2002 and Outlook on this new
machine.
Incidentally I noticed that often in writing this reply, the curser moves
elsewhere often when i hit letter t.

If you have speech recognition active, deactivate it. It sometimes causes
the random jumping cursor.

Office XP (2002) comes with speech recognition built in. No need to add
anything. Try turning off your microphone.

I believe that the matter has been solved.

The answer was a "PICNIC" - "problem in chair not in computer".

Seems that as I typed the letter t, my right hand palm was just touching the
mouse pad thereby giving an instruction that the curser should move to a new
position (wherever the curser had positioned itself).

Many thanks for your assistance. Best Regards Michael.
