Default Word 2007 bug? (or is it just me)

Driver is up-to-date. I'd love to report this to microsoft, but I cannot
access the online support (presumably because it is a trial version?) I'm
hoping that microsoft keeps an eye on these newsgroups. I generally like
2007, but not being able to scroll is a deal-breaker for me. (Glad I got to
try before buying.)

Presumably, the touchpad's driver is supposed to convert that gesture
into the same Windows message that the scroll wheel on a mouse would
generate. We've had several reports here that Word 2007 doesn't "see"
the scroll wheel of certain mice but works ok with others.

You could check the IBM web site (or maybe it's Lenovo's site now) for
an updated touchpad driver. Other than that, I can't suggest a fix.

I'm running the trial version of Word 2007 (final release, not beta) on an
IBM Thinkpad T30 notebook. I cannot use the touchpad to scroll. (Usually
if I run my finger down the right side of the touchpad, the window
scrolls.)
Scrolling still works in other applications. Is this me or is this a bug.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
