Satellite C655 - text insert point is erratic, wandering and deletes

I'm having an erratic text insertion point.
When you use MS Word, WordPress or other trying to hit, the text insertion point jumps around while typing.
The result is;

(1) what I'm typing is inserted in the text that is already written,
(2) text is placed elsewhere in the page, or
(3) written text is deleted - this may be a word or a whole paragraph.
Type it is like playing a game - type you and watch where the words are placed or erasure and always complete a sentence.

I use a Satellite C655 which I bought through BJ, Word 7, Internet Explorer and Word Starter 2010.
I don't like this version of Word, but my drive for Word 2003 does not install because of a "missing file" - go figure.
It installed on my new Windows 7 desktop computer.

Any suggestions? Is it a problem that I would return to my laptop for Toshiba?
Since I'm a writer, this problem is serious for me.

Hello

If your laptop uses an older version of BIOS, please update the BIOS to the latest status.
In addition, you must disable the touchpad while typing.
In my case, I touched the touchpad accidentally area while typing and so my cursor jumped on another line

  • SE geometricBounds of a text insertion point [CS5 JavaScript]

    The question arises to automated by placing an image on the exact location of the subsection that retains the reference to this image. The image should * not * be placed online. Even if I have a method to do this, I wonder if there is another cleaner way.

    Text example:

    paragraph of the story.

    IMG001 < tab > this paragraph contains the name of the image and the caption.

    following paragraph of the story.

    I wrote a script that reads the mention of the image (the cursor is inside this paragraph) and the place of the image and the caption in a separate frame on the page.

    To get the location of the paragraph that begins by * img I place a frame temporary small online at the beginning of this paragraph. Then I read the geometric limits of this inline frame, remove it and use these coordinates to place the frame of image on this vertical location.

    The script works very well, but get the insertion of coordinates of the point seems a bit of a detour. Maybe it's the only way, but if anyone has a suggestion for a more orderly approach, I would be interested.

    Insertionpoints have the horizontalOffset properties and the base, which are x, y coordinates.

  • Insert the list of names of link on the current page to the current text insertion point?

    Hello

    I need to automate the insertion of a list of the names of the links located on the page current / active to the blinker current text. (I forgot the technical name of the thing of blinking text line).

    Thank you!

    That would be "cursor" (apparently taken from Latin, 'Messenger', not a person who cursed a lot).

    This javascript does the trick. He first tries to determine the page, which is a bit awkward because the text blocks can be nested, on a master page, or on the pasteboard. If the script "does nothing, then closes" (quite a common mistake) or error, this would be a place likely to fail.

    If he has found its own page, it's a simple case of iterating over all the graphics on this page, which is fortunately a property 'Page '.

    theStoriesPage = app.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0];
    while (1)
    {
     theStoriesPage = theStoriesPage.parent;
     if (theStoriesPage.constructor.name == "Page")

    Today, I updated for Sierra and updated to the latest version of the Pages. Now I find that I am more able to select a line of text. When I try to do, I find myself with an insertion point where I stopped by selecting, but nothing is selected. This is a bug in the new version of pages or get my wrong settings?

  • Size of the text cursor (insertion point)?

    How can I control the size of the text cursor (insertion point)? The Windows setting in Accessability Options of the Panel seems to ignore Firefox.

    Try to create these two integer prefs:

    ui.caretBlinkTime (milliseconds;use 0 to disable blink)
    

    To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

    • Preferences that have changed also show "BOLD" (user set).

  • Satellite C655 - screen is sometimes too bright after hibernation

    Sometimes when I wake up my laptop after sleep or hibernation, the screen will be medium bright/high contrast to the point where I have trouble reading the names of icon on my desktop.

    The only way I found to fix it once it arrives is to restart, then it is fine. He does this from time to time.

    It's quite new, not even a year, so I doubt the backlight went wrong.
    I was wondering if anyone knew why this happens, and if it's something I should be concerned?

    I have a Satellite c655 running windows 7.

    Hello

    To be honest, it's the first time I read about this kind of problems.
    You can change the brightness using Fn + F6 or FN + F7 while this happens?

    But these combinations of FN keys control only brightness and this does not affect the contrast so not quite sure if it s really a problem of setting
    In the worst case that your display may be affected so maybe you should get in touch with a local Toshiba ASP in order to check the internal LCD screen.

  • Last insertion point of a line is ignored. Why?

    I am writing a script that takes a multiline paragraph and can scale down the pointSize to fit all the text on a line that corresponds to the width of the text block.

    Screen Shot 2013-08-27 at 12.33.55 PM.png

    Here's how to calculate.

    -J' add the length of each line to get the total width.

    -calculate the percentage of scaling by dipping the width of text to the total width frame.

    -several current point size with are.

    Pretty simple stuff.

    The issue I'm facing is that indesign makes the last character as the last point of insertion of each line. SHE IGNORES the SPACE AFTER IT. What shoul be technically the last point inseriton. So given that space cannot be calculated, it shake my whole scaling.

    Screen Shot 2013-08-27 at 12.34.09 PM.png

    I'm doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

    my code:

    var frameWidth = app.selection[0].geometricBounds[3] - app.selection[0].geometricBounds[1];
    var numOfLines = app.selection[0].lines.length;
    var totalWidth = 0;
    
    
    for (var j = numOfLines - 1; j>-1; j--) {
          if(j == numOfLines-1) {
                totalWidth = totalWidth + (app.selection[0].lines[j].insertionPoints[-1].horizontalOffset - app.selection[0].lines[j].insertionPoints[0].horizontalOffset);
          } else {
                totalWidth = totalWidth + (app.selection[0].lines[j].characters[-1].horizontalOffset - app.selection[0].lines[j].characters[0].horizontalOffset);
          }
    }
    
    
    var percentage = frameWidth / totalWidth;
    
    
    app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].pointSize = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].pointSize * percentage + "pt";
    
    

    Use the endHorizontalOffset property.

    One of the problems with text objects (which can be a blessing or a curse depending on what you happen to want to at some point) is a principle that I call "the last shall be first." This is because the last insertion of any particular text object is the same insertion point as the first of the next similar text element.

    Thus, for example,.

    nextPara = .paragraphs thisPara.insertionPoint [-1] [0]

    One consequence of this is that the last PointInsertion of a line has two different positions, the end of a line and the beginning of the next.

    Even the user interface is confused by the present. Click at the end of a story that ends with a paragraph mark and place an image. You will see that the cursor marker remains at the same insertion point, but before placing them, it is to the left of the line to which you added the image now is at the end of the previous line.

    It's very odd behavior which panicked me for more than a decade now.
