Word deletes whole paragraphs in front of my eyes
When I'm busy typing away my cursor suddenly jumps to another place on it's own and whole paragraphs disappear without me touching anything. I feel like it's haunted except there's probably a sensible explanation. Any suggestions please?

Hello C_Wiles1986
this is a tricky one as there can be so many things resulting in a behaviour like this.
Unless there is something wrong with your drivers or your keyboard has a stuck key, I'd suggest reinstalling MS Office. I don't usually support reinstalls as these should be a the last resort thing, but without seeing your computer and troubleshooting, it might not hurt.
Don't do a "Repair", do a proper complete uninstall and a complete new install.
Or call MS help to take a look at your computer.
Try the following
1. Check your Quick Parts. Sometimes, autocomplete text occurs. For ex., when I type TC, it adds my full name.
- Insert Tab | Under Text Group, select Quick Parts
2. Check Macros. Just in case you inadvertently created a macro with an assigned shortcut.
- View | Macros
Ok. I am tapped out.
