  Are you saying that the cursor/insertion point suddenly moves to a different location? If so, and if you are using a laptop, the issue is usually caused by an over-sensitive touchpad. Try changing the touchpad settings in Control Panel.

  This is definitely NOT related to programming, so is very much off-topic in the MSDN forums. Please post your question on the Answers site:

  http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/word

  Unfortunately, we cannot move questions from MSDN to Answers.

  FWIW, my guess would be that you're using a laptop with a touchpad, or a touch screen, and your thumb or something is hitting the pad/screen, thus changing the location of the cursor.
