Slide Bar 'jumps' the view
Running Word 97 on Win98
The slide bar at the side to pull down the image has the irritating effect of changing nothing UNTIL you let go of the bar, then the whole image jumps. Almost every application, except this MS Word product, allows the use of the slider bar to adjust the iimage to where you want. With this blind jump it's impossible to use the slide bar for any effective adjustments, practically rendering the function useless. Has this been changed on later versions? If so, that makes a good reason to update. |

Somewhere - I can't remember where at the moment - there's an option for
'Smooth Scrolling' which you need to check. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Robert Macy" wrote in message ...

So after a google search I found this URL: http://pcin.net/help/download/doc/registry_tips.doc and on page 17 63. Smooth Scrolling in Microsoft Word HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Wo rd\Options \LiveScrolling This features allows you to have smooth scrolling in Word 97. When you use the scroll bars in Word 97, you can't see the document as it scrolls by until you let go of the scroll bar. Adding this LiveScrolling setting and setting it to 1 will allow you to see document scroll by. I tried it and it works! But, only for the vertical bar, but that's a help. I wonder what works for the horizontal bar. |

Slide Bar 'jumps' the view
I've never tried horizontal scrolling (always had the page(s) narrower than
the windows). I'm not sure I have ever seen the equivalent. Terry "Robert Macy" wrote in message ...
