Windows 10: Jumping Cursor in Word and Outlook

I am plagued by a jumping cursor in Word and Outlook e mail. I can be typing and the Cursor suddendly jumps to another part of the page and because you are not looking at the screen a lot of tying has to be constantly removed. I have exhausted YouTube advice.

Cursor jumps around

Hi,

My cursor jumps around and is causing all kinds of typing errors in Word, Web apps (i.e., Facebook) and desktop apps (i.e., Evernote). Here's an example:

It's driving me cray ! No, I did not intentionaly mispell these words. y cursor did it for me. Mslz

Do you notice all the mis-spelled words? I typed it perfectly and Windows did the rest. Whenever I type the letter "y", my cursor jumps back a space (before the 'y'). It pushes the letter before the y to the end of my typing. Do you notice the "Mslz" at
the end?

• The 'z' is from cra(z)y
• The 'l' is from intentional(l)y
• The 's' is from mis(s)pell
• The 'M' is from (M)y

Sometimes the cursor jumps to the next line and elsewhere on the page. This example above is just one instance and it's driving me insane! Can someone please help?

 

Cursor jump

Hi,

One of the possible causes why you're having cursor jump issue might due to some hardware setting corruption.
To isolate the cause of this issue, we need additional information.Kindly answer the following questions:

• Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
• Are you experiencing this issue every time you type to a certain app or to all of the apps/programs?
• Any troubleshooting steps you've tried so far?

We look forward to your reply.

 

outlook opens word?

If you use a version of Outlook prior to v. 2007, there's a checkbox in one of the preferences tabs which controls this. You can choose Word or Outlook Editor.

V. 2007 no longer includes Outlook Editor, though. It has it's own 'light' verson of Word 2007 built in.
