While typing in word 2007 the cursor suddenly jumps up a few lines

P

I'm typing away in word and suddenly the cursor pops up a few lines. It
happens when I'm typing fast and I just can't figure our what the combination
is that I'm hitting and why it's happening. How do I turn it off?
At times suddenly some of the text that I just typed is selected and then
deleted as I continue typing. Another hot key combination that I'm not sure
what it is and how to turn it off.

On a laptop, right? You're accidentally brushing your touchpad, or
maybe it's set too sensitive and is reacting to vibrations from the
keystrokes. See if you can disable it whan a mouse is plugged in, or
if there's a setting in the hardware for turning down the sensitivity.
