Hi Shauna,
Let's say I am typing in my document and I want to scroll up or down to
another page to check something (I do this often). I stop typing and scroll,
but the page won't scroll any further than where the insertion point hits the
top or bottom of the window. When it hits the border of the window it stops
scrolling and will not go further until I move the insertion point from where
I had stopped typing. This is frustrating because then I have to find my
place again. I hope this is clear. Thanks for responding.

Hi Alessa

What happens when you try to scroll through the document? What is happening
that is telling you that Word is preventing you from scrolling?

why does the insertion point keep me from scrolling through my document?
Word never did that in the '97 version but this '03 version won't allow me
to
scroll up and down in the document unless I move the insertion point from
the
place where I last typed. This is frustrating when you want to look at
other
places in your document and you constantly have to move your insertion
point
to allow the pages to scroll. How do I stop this feature?
