Hi Cindy,
Thanks for responding to my question. I have office pro 2003 on multiple
regular desktop computers. This same problem happens to all of them.
I have some document around fifty or sixty pages long. Usually, the first
indication of this problem is when I scroll up to the top of the page with
the mouse wheel and it stops around line five or six. I can scroll up or down
but it wont go higher. If I scroll up at that point using the scroll bar,
then the vertical and horizontal scroll will change every time, but it can
still change without me scrolling all the way up.
Im writing a book and some document have five or six chapter in it, fifty
or sixty pages. This scrolling problem is a problem Ive always had with
2003, on all the multiple chapters, on different document. I can open the
document up, everything works fine for a while, then suddenly the scroll
reverses. I can open the document on a different computer, the scroll works
fine, then suddenly it happens there to, it reverses.
I thought it was a bug in word, since Ive seen other people complaining
about this same problem on the internet, but every now and them, I get the
same reversing scroll problem in excel, and with only one page.
I hope this isnt a brain stumper, or a bug that cant be fixed.
Thanks again for the input and if you have any ideas, please feel free to
suggest them.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
I'm using office 2003 with sp3 and all the latest updates. Sometimes when
I'm in word and have a large document of many pages, the down scroll
(vertical) changes to side to side (horizontal).
I can't recall having ever heard of anything like this before. The first
thing that comes to my mind was language formatting causing a shift. You can
check that the next time you see it, but on further reflection it seems less
likely.
What kind of machine are you working on? Is it a Tablet? Or may you have
installed a Windows XP Tablet edition on a non-Tablet machine?
