Is it a Dell laptop? It might be something with the media direct
application.

Do you have a microphone turned on and is the environment noisy? The
computer could be "hearing" commands and jumping you around.

Hi, I am a new user for Outlook 2007, but have used Outlook for the last
10
years or so, so know it pretty well. When I try to type a message (in
fact
it is happening again right now so perhaps it is not an Outlook problem!),
the text sort of changes, and my cursor keeps jumping to a previous line.
I
can only liken it to the predictive text (is that what they call it?) on
mobile phones. It is very frustrating. This is a new laptop with Vista
Home Premium and Office Pro 2007. Just in case it was something odd that
I
was doing, I have just hopped onto mmy old laptop and did not experience
this
wierd problem there. I wonder if I have inadvertently hit a key - ???
I
have logged off and on again, in case there was a problem that could be
fixed
with a restart, but it is still happening, even as I type now. I would be
VERY grateful for any suggestions. Many thanks.
