Why does my cursor jump when I type certain characters in Word?

when typing in Word, or express, every time I type a punctuation mark such as @, etc the cursor jumps up a line and inserts the typing there. It is very confusing and can get quite messy for touchtypists. It makes typing an e-mail address quite difficult as you have to cut and paste back into the correct position. this is a fairy new problem, it never happened before and I haven't installed a newer version of word. Thanks.
