Default WordXP: cursor moves automatically at mouse pointer's position

When I type in a Word document, sometimes the cursor moves automatically
where the mouse pointer has been left standing (e.g. in another place in the
document). How can I stop this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Laptop? Keep your hands away from the touchpad!

Another thing to check is to see if Click and Type is enabled (in the menu,
Tools - Options - Edit tab, "Enable click and type"--see if turning this off
provides some relief).
