Dell :: E5530 / Cursor Jumping On Documents?

is there a way to turn off the voluntary cursor jumping. I am typing, my cursor is 2 sentences above where I actually want to type. It takes me forever to type anything because I always have to be cautious of where my cursor is resting, so it doesn't move me and have me typing in random places in a document or email. Quite often I have to double click on my touchpad to certify my cursor has not jumped to another place in my document.

I have a Dell E5530 laptop using Win 8. I use Open Office for document writing.
