Re: typing text in Word 2007

You will need to consult your laptop's documentation (probably from their
web site) on how to access the particular BIOS used on yours.
The BIOS is software stored in flash ROM on the motherboard of your PC which
stores essential data about the PC hardware. You can access it by pressing a
certain key combination whilst the PC is booting. See

UNDERSTAND!!!

Turn the touchpad off. Some are so sensitive that tapping the
keyboard will activate their tap function.
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.
