I often times use split windows so I can refer to one area of a document
while editing another. If would be very helpful if I could use my wheel
mouse to scroll either pane without first having to click in the pane to make
it active.

I'm using Word 2002 SP3

If you don't click in the pane, how is Word supposed to know which window
you want to scroll?

I think the poster is referring to the way we can hold the
cursor over the frame in this online message board and
scroll without clicking, then hold the cursor over the
other frame and scroll without clicking.

I don't use my scroll wheel at all, so I guess I'm ignorant of this. g

I would say that what they are asking for is different because on the message
board, it is one "active" window whereas with the split windows, you have two
different windows and you will need to activate the window in which you want
to scroll (just like suzanne said). I can't think of a way around not having
to click and activate the window. Good luck!

Steve H is correct in his assessment of the problem. What Im looking to be
able to do is what I think is referred to as a €œmouse over€�. This works in
some applications, so I figured there must be a way to achieve the same thing
in Word. Maybe Im just expecting too much.
