Thanks Stefan, not a laptop, desktop.

But – I think that in the last few hours I have got onto the Solution – I recalled that the problem started at about the time I did a Dragon Professional Individual 15 upgrade, and I got onto the Dragon website and I see that they have an upgrade to fix a problem where the cursor inadvertently moves text - so I applied that and in the last hour or so the problem is still there but very minimal – does not move the text in blocks, the only thing that seems wrong at the moment is the cursor itself is sometimes half a line below where it should be but I can live with that everything else looks okay.

In a nutshell – problem looks like it It was an incompatibility problem between DragonDictate and Microsoft Word and a dragon patch has fix the problem – The amazing thing of course is that Nuance Put something out to market that had an incompatibility problem with the very program in which the DragonDictate product would be used the most– Makes you wonder where all that research and development money goes.

Again, your assistance/comments much appreciated.
