When I try to use my arrow keys to move down in my text box my cursor jumps
to another text box on the previous page. Any ideas on why it would do this
and what can I do to change it?

Hi rb

Click to expand...

a couple of possible explanations come to mind:

1. The text boxes are linked so that text flows from one to the other.
2. The document is protected in some sections or areas, and when you get
to a protected area, Word puts you "back where you belong" ... :)
3. The touchpad of your laptop is taking your involuntary touches literally.

Thanks for the reply. I checked what you mentioned and I'm not using a
laptop, the boxes aren't linked and I made the document so it's not
protected. Any other ideas?
