Slides are moving to different postions on their own

When I make a change to a slide, and then in normal view, click on the next
slide, that slide moves ahead one or two slides on its own. Also, in the
normal view, a line appears under the slide that moved but in it is in it's
new position. For instance, if I make a change on slide #6, then click on
slide #7, slide #7 moves to the position of slide #8 and has a line under it.
Sounds pretty confusing because it is. That's pretty much what happens.
Tried it on a different powerpoint, and it did the same thing. Even copy and
pasted it to a new file but still did it. These slides are usually slides
with tables in them, so I suppose it could have something to do with that,
but why? Once, my changes are made and eveything is in its correct position,
it stays the same after I save. But when I make another change to the slides
(text, formatting, whatever), then it does the moving again. Anyone else
have this problem?

This is just a guess, but is it possible that some accessibility options
are turned on that allow you to "drag" by clicking on one thing and then
clicking on another?

That does seem quite likely David but I cant actually see how sticky keys /
mouse keys could do this.

Maybe speech recognition? I know whenever I see a report of a "haunted"
computer, it's probably speech recognition turned on!

Just when I never thought I'd hear of a good use for the stupid cartoon
characters ... so it catches you cursing under your breath and the OL or
Einstein pops up and chews you out for it. Yowza.
