Zoom problem with Mac track pad

This seems like such a simple thing, but I haven't been about to figure out how to fix it.

I'm using a mac laptop with a track pad, every time I scroll with the track pad, or touch it with more than one finger the page size goes haywire. Is there any way to lock the page size? I spend half my time finding my place again when it zooms in or out.

Is this not the on screen zoom, rather than the document Page Size?

Yes, your right its the zoom rather than page size.

When I first used my wife's mac book pro I had the same issue - I discovered that I was inadvertently touching the track pad with two fingers that caused wild zooming rather than move the arrow - two finger touches cause different things to happen and you need to be careful.
