scrolling problem
I have a minor but annoying problem which may or may not be related to Word
itself. I am using Word 2002 in a XP Home laptop. Very often when I scroll down a document using the touchpad it will scroll to a certain point in the document and refuse to go further down even there is still much more document to go. If I click lower on that page scrolling resumes normally. I've clicked on the "show/hide" button but can see nothing special about where the scrolling stops. This happens in many documents, not just one, and only seems to happen in Word. Because this is a laptop I use the touchpad and cannot tell you whether it would happen with a mouse. Clicking on the scroll bar works to move down so it only involves using the touchpad to scroll. Is this a Word bug or problem? Jeff |

scrolling problem
Hi Jeff:
It's not a Word bug. It does happen on laptops fitted with a touchpad that is configured to accept a "double tap" instead of a "Left click". If your finger slips on the touchpad, the system thinks you have clicked in the document. Hope this helps On 30/7/06 10:51 PM, in article , "Jeff" wrote: I have a minor but annoying problem which may or may not be related to Word itself. I am using Word 2002 in a XP Home laptop.
