When typing in both Outlook messages and in MS Word documents, sometimes when
typing the letter b and what follows (i.e. behind or able) the cursor moves
to another point in the text. I have seen messages suggesting that it is
tapping of the keyboard mouse or touch pad, yet this still occurs even when I
am very careful about that possibility. Can anyone help with this problem.

Since the "B" is very close to the touchpad area perhaps the surface is
deflecting and causing movement. Try disable the touchpad in device
manager. If further questions about the device manager please ask in a
group for your operating system as this is not an Office application
related issue. On the other hand IF you are using Word as the editor for
Outlook and this does not happen if you disable Word from being used for
the editor, then I would suspect that there may be a hotkey combo
assigned to "b" and another key. Like "Alt+b" or "Ctrl+B" or such.
Please experiment in that case to discover if you may replicate it on
purpose.
