Are you using a laptop and might you accidentally tapping the touch pad with
your thumb as you type?

I have the same problem, and use an external mouse plus have set the touchpad
sensitivity to require tapping hard.
I'm new to Win 7 & Outlook 2007 but think the problem here is the new
mouse/select features that I haven't done the tutorial on--click & drag works
differently and I suspect other mouse issues are affected as well (?).
sometimes my mouse wanders and typing will appear wherever the pointer has
strayed to...annoying!
