Re: Cursor Jumps to top of Outlook 2007 Email Message

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Was it enabled or disabled and did changing it fix it?

When its enabled, the cursor moves as you scroll up or down. When you press the arrow keys after you use the scroll bar, the cursor is positioned in the page currently in view, not at its last used position. If this is disabled, and the user is using the scroll bar, the cursor would stay in the last used position. This doesn't sound like the description of your problem though. Default is on.

Jumping cursors (and other odd keyboard behavior) is often the result of an open mic and the speech to text feature.

After checking other resources, I found that the possible setting in question is called Smart Cursoring.

Message format, presence on or off, signature set-up, lots of things. Only
you can compare the options each user has. Start with Tools->options and
look at every option. I would also check the options in Word options.

||
||| On a couple of our desktop computers running Office 2007 on Windows
||| XP with HTML as the Outlook email format, the cursor jumps to the
||| top of the window rather than scroll down as the user is typing a
||| message that exceeds the size of the message window. It happens only

||| the problem.
|||
||| Any ideas as to the cause or a possible fix?

||| Thanks in advance,
