My cursor in word 2007, Dell, windows xp prof wont stay fixed. It will jump
up to the last paragraph or somewhere on a page being edited and either
delete or type in something I want to go elsewhere. The same is true when I
try to delete text. Sometimes it will gey up and I will lose a paragraph
rather than a letter.

Was there an answer in there somewhere? Yes or No would suffice.

I've read various posts from people who have voice recognition turned on and
it causes problems. Any chance you have yours turned on?
