That suggests Word's application window is too large for the screen.

If your laptop has a touch-pad and you're using a mouse, that's quite possibly because you haven't disabled to touch-pad and you're brushing it as you move the mouse, causing content to be selected. When you then start typing, it erases the selected content.
