I am using a HP laptop and the issue only happens in MS Word. The touchpad is active and I have not been able to find a way to disable it. Previous laptops had a key combo to do it.

Does this behavior happen in other places besides word? If this document is being composed on a desktop computer and a mouse is connected, I would try removing the mouse temporarily to see if this behavior subsides or place it in a position where it will not be touched. If this document is being composed on a laptop one item which comes to mind is that perhaps you are inadvertently touching the touch pad? This is usally down near the bottom of the keyboard and will cause the position of the cursor to move. Most laptops have an option that allows for the touch pad to be disabled.
