Re: typing text in Word 2007

Thank you again Graham - that's a really useful suggestion. However as I am
a congential Mac user who has only very recently switched to this new PC I
don't know how to do this. What are BIOS?

Turn the touchpad off. Some are so sensitive that tapping the keyboard will

You will probably have to turn it off from the BIOS.

Thank you for your reply, Graham. I had actually thought that myself
and taken note of how I type. However as I am an well trained
typist, use a mouse with the laptop and myhands never go anywhere
near the touchpad I'm still puzzled.

Laptop? You are either brushing your hand on the touchpad or the
touchpad is over sensitive.

Word 2007 is unstable when typing in text. Typed text does not stay
in place. Typed text skips at random. New typed characters appear
in the middle of the sentence above. this occours at least once
per line of text and somtimes more frequently. As I am a
professional writer this makes Word 2007 unusable. Can anyone
advise.
