I just loaded Windows 10 on my laptop. I have problems typing with Word 7. The curser jumps to different location in the document; sometimes the document zooms to a larger size, etc. I use a Logitech M 304 mouse and downloaded new software, but this did not solve the problem. Sometimes just touching a keyboard key makes the curser shift locations. I’ve also noticed, while working on the Desktop just touching the keyboard changes the icon sizes to “large”. Very annoying. I don’t know if it’s Word problem or a Windows 10 problem.
📎 AI Summary:
The original poster reports experiencing erratic cursor movements, zooming issues, and icon size changes while using Word 7 on Windows 10, despite updating mouse software. A second user suggests it might be caused by electromagnetic interference or electrostatic discharge and recommends testing with a different, wired mouse to troubleshoot the hardware. The overall discussion centers on diagnosing whether the problem stems from hardware, software, or environmental factors, with a focus on identifying the root cause of the unusual behavior.

Weird.
Electrostatic discharge?
Has this happened before? What do you mean by Word 7?
But let's first check the mouse: could you test with a mouse with a cord, with your cordless mouse switched off.
What happens than?
