Scroll on Window Restore?
I'm running Word 2007 on Vista Business.
Whenever I restore Word from the task bar, it scrolls so the cursor is at the top line of the window. That happens whether I'm restoring to a window or to the full screen. This scarcely ranks up there with ... well, bad stuff. But it's annoying. Is there a setting of some option somewhere saying "Don't scroll on restore"? -- Greg |

Scroll on Window Restore?
That is strange and does not happen for me. Even if I have only been reading
a document and not actually done any editing or clicked the insertion point, it still minimizes and maximizes to the same point. If I have been editing, when I maximize, the cursor is still where it left off. I'm not sure what could be causing this. Are you using a standard desktop with a standard mouse? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Greg" wrote in message ... I'm running Word 2007 on Vista Business.

If I have been editing, when I maximize, the cursor is still where it left off. I'm not sure what could be causing this. Are you using a standard desktop with a standard mouse? No, this is on a laptop (Lenovo N100), with a touchpad. It happens very consistently, whether I minimize the window by mousing the "minimize" icon or using Alt-space-n. It also happens whether I restore by mousing into the taskbar, or use Alt-Tab to pick Word. For the heck of it, I also tried it both auto-hiding the taskbar, and not. Also whether I've been editing at the cursor point, or not. Still the same, consistently. As you said -- strange. Another oddity, which may or may not be related: Shift-F5 when I re-open a file never does anything. The cursor just stays at the start of the document. I can set and go to bookmarks manually. This is similarly annoying, but also scarcely lethal. I've seen others post things I could do in normal.dot to fix this, but I've never done such surgery and am reluctant to start. -- Greg |

I'm not sure what this can be unless it is a ThinkPad oddity!
Shift+F5 is basically gone in Word 2007(when reopening a document). We've had long discussions about it with the developers and frankly the reason for its removal seems very weak. Let's hope it will be back restored some time soon. We will certainly continue pressing for it. Terry "Greg" wrote in message ... As you said -- strange.

Well, nit-picky technically I don't have a Thinkpad, but OK. Hard to see
how the hardware would cause this, though. Just a mystery, and I'm sure not the only one. Sad news about Shift-F5. Restarting where I last left off was something I very much liked about OpenOffice Write. Maybe it will come back to Word. Keep pressing! And many thanks for the information.

Just a quick further test. Start Word in Safe Mode and open a document. Then
try min/max and see if the same problem occurs. From Start, Run, type in winword /a and press enter. Test now. Terry PS Can't get it out of my mind that Lenovo/IBM and ThinkPad have separated - especially as my wife works for IBM and they still issue staff laptops and call them ThinkPads!

Well, how about that -- starting that way, it doesn't scroll on minimize/restore. What does that mean? One thing I can say that is means: It's fixed. After testing in safe mode, for the heck of it I started Word normally, and tested again. Lo and behold, it no longer scrolls on minimize/restore. Shakes head in amazement. Whatever... Thanks! (I never heard of a safe mode for Word before. Windows, yes. Not Word. Thanks for the detailed startup instruction.) Terry PS Can't get it out of my mind that Lenovo/IBM and ThinkPad have separated - especially as my wife works for IBM and they still issue staff laptops and call them ThinkPads! Some of the laptops Lenovo sells are Thinkpads, like the T series, X series, and so on. So your wife and others aren't wrong. Use of the "Thinkpad" name was one of the things Lenovo bought. I was there, and there were grumblings about IBM selling off the one really good PC IBM still made. However, Lenovo also makes non-Thinkpad laptops, and the one I have -- 3000 series -- happens to be one of the those. Simple visual distinction: It's not black. :-) The case top is sliver. -- Greg |

Oh, &%$@. It started doing it again. And this time, safe mode doesn't help.
I'm wondering if it has some interaction with hibernation. I don't think it went into hibernation since the prior restart before, and this time was after coming out of hibernation. Why that should affect scrolling, ??? I'm grasping at straws here. Greg Greg wrote: Terry Farrell wrote: Just a quick further test. Start Word in Safe Mode and open a document.
