[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Some months ago (last December, to be exact) Greg Maxey provided a macro
that will do what you want. Assign the following macro to a keyboard
shortcut and modify the down value to suit your taste:

Sub MySmallScroll()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=10
End Sub

Hi,

Can someone help me with this if there's a way forward please.

I'm finding that on full screen, regardless of the font used, as the text
typed is at the bottom of the screen, the bottom of the line is missing as
it
is cut off by the window. People I know localy have confirmed this (it is
not
down to my PC). It seems to me that people must just put up with this and
they should not. I'm not happy with that as I have paid a lot for this
software and I expect/DEMAND to see my type as when I type it! What the
hell
is going on? Why is half of my line missing at the bottom of the page? Why
can't i modify this so the type is higher on the screen? Even though my 3
months support is up I have owned this 'product' for less than half an
year
and therefore expect (by law) for a solution or refund as Word is unfit
for
purpose: a word processor must show you what you have typed.

It must be the case that 'fit for purpose' means I can see what I write.
I'm
sure it must. Currently this product does not show me what I am typing
fully.
I am just a little put out by this. Are Microsoft above the law in
England?

I have spent a lot of years standing up to the MS bashers but I think now
they are correct. I want my money back and I want it now.

Now all i need is a way to have the page auto scroll when my type gets to
about half to three quarters of the way down the screen: so i'm not always
typing at the screen bottom. Typing at the screen bottom can by a pain in
any
view as I often see that part of the bottom line is missing. Any ideas
guys?

Hi,

Interestingly the vertical scroll bar is absent on my nice new full
screen
mode however far I zoom in and regardless of the number of pages in the
document. This is most welcome as if it was there I'd be ranting on about
trying to make it go away )

Oh, one other thing: the insertion point cursor...any way to change it's
colour? Perhaps it would be nice if it only showed itself when i was
moving
the insertion point too.

Maximum regards for reading my minimal request,

OK - that's a plus, I guess Interestingly the keyboard shortcut
is
reported unassigned in the keyboard shortcut editor.


Graham,

Alt, V, U is an accelerator key combination (from &View | F&ull
Screen of Word 2003, English language version) rather than a keyboard
shortcut; therefore, Alt+V+U is unassigned in the Customize Keyboard
dialog box.

Whether you have a vertical scroll bar rather depends on the zoom
level that you view at and the resolution of the display driver.
Given that the old command still works, it should be possible to add
a ribbon button to achieve it. Create a macro as follows:

MsgBox "Press ESC to exit full screen", vbInformation, "Full
Screen View"
ActiveWindow.View.FullScreen = True

(the first line is optional) and see
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm for information on
customising the ribbon.

FWIW this is not Microsoft but a user peer group.

Hi,

So you like the Print Layout View when 'working with documents;' so
do I. When I am working with a document (i.e. I have a document to
work with) all this stuff is great; indeed, that's why I paid the
cash for the product rather than use OpenOffice or whatever.

Thing is that sometimes, when I am writing and have no document to
format and consider printing yet, I want only to see that.

I am not alone. After posting the question I took a long look at
the
internet and discovered that there are all sorts of alternate word
processors that make a point of offering what I want. There are
even
add-ons for 2007, but the one I looked at was spoilt by the
inclusion of a flashing line and column indicator at the bottom of
the screen. Whilst looking at the internet I found a solution for
Word
2007:
The old 2003 commands still work. If you press ALT+V and then press
U... ahhh, it all goes away (even the exit full screen has gone
).
I was concerned that I'd be left with the vertical scroll bar (the
page with the solution said I would be), but that has gone too. So
it's all good news: I have a 'typewriter' for when I want to write
and 'Print Layout View' for when I'm interested in printing, layout
and the things you do after writing.

If any Word people read this I would like to request a 'Write View'
be included in the next Word along with all the other views useful
for other things: printing, reading, editing, formatting...playing
with functions. Do remember that there are some who use the product
for writing. People are paying money for what I want Microsoft.

Regards,

s

I should add that it is possible with Word 2003 to have a clear
full screen mode - but as 2007 does not have toolbars it is not
possible to turn them off.

What you see is what you get. As a professional writer (now
retired), I personally like to have tools available to enable
easy
formatting of the document and I am certainly nor distracted by
the tiny menu in Word 2007's reading view - though frankly I much
prefer the Print Layout view for working with documents.

I used to have the function you require. It was called a
typewriter. Things have moved on.

Hi,

I hope that someone can help me with something that has been
bugging me for ages. Now I've found this forum I thought I'd
ask.

I want a 'proper' full screen mode in Word 2007. I want to
simply
see what I'm typing. I don't want any menus or scroll bars; in
particular I don't want to see the button to press to exit full
screen mode. To be clear i'll repeat: I want to see the page and
the words and NOTHING else.

In my last version of Word I had a full screen mode and the
stupid exit button; you have no idea how much that made me
swear. I thought Word 2007 may have moved on but all I can seem
to find is the full screen 'reading' view. Calling it 'full
screen' is literally incorrect: it is full of menus and controls
that hide parts of the screen and distract me.

Can someone help me find a true 'full screen' mode in 2007? Is
such a thing possible in any word processor? Do people that
create word processors write at all?

Thanks and regards,

Steve
