I read a lot of documents using acroread in "reading mode". (How many times can I get the word "read" in one sentence...)
Most of the time, I can use cursor-right (or space) and cursor-left to move back and forth through my document, page by page. Quite infrequently, though, for reasons I've not yet figured out, I somehow get a cursor in my document and cursor-right and cursor-left just move that cursor right and left through the text on the page instead of moving me to the next/previous page as usual.
I haven't figured out either what causes that cursor to appear, or how to get rid of it once it does. The only way I have found to get things back to normal is to close and re-open my document.
These are mostly PDF's that I create myself from OpenOffice or with CUPS-PDF.
What's going on and how can I make it stop?

In Adobe Reader, got to the TOOLS menu, then select 'Select & Zoom' (This is using Version 8.xx) and choose the HAND TOOL. That allows paging through the file with the left & right arrow keys..
