Scrolling in Word 2007
I hate to ask such a dopey question, but I can't seem to get through it
myself. I installed Office 2007 Beta and was walking through the new features/layout when I discovered I couldn't use my mouse wheel to scroll through the document, making navigation more than mildly annoying. Anyone else have this problem/know how to fix it? The mouse is fine and works in Word 2003 (still installed). |

Scrolling in Word 2007
Does this happen for a particular document or all the time?

Scrolling in Word 2007
When you try to use the scroll wheel, is the mouse cursor over the
ribbon or over the text of the document? You can change ribbon tabs with the scroll wheel, so if the mouse is over the ribbon that's what it will do. You need to make sure the mouse is over your actual text or in the document space when you try to use the scroll wheel.

Scrolling in Word 2007
It happens all the time, regardless of the document used. I initially used a
document I created in Word 2003 and imported, but I also created one in 2007 and encounter the same problem. Interestingly, I cannot change the ribbon tab with the mouse wheel. However, if I click the mouse wheel over the text and drag the mouse, I do get the slow scroll effect, so the mouse wheel is recognized, but not quite properly and in all situations. Wonder if it's a hardware issue (I've never particularly liked IBM hardware). "Patrick Schmid" wrote: Does this happen for a particular document or all the time?

Scrolling in Word 2007
Does scrolling work in other programs?
I'd look for a new driver for your mouse. Maybe that fixes the issue.

Scrolling in Word 2007
The plot thickens. I can scroll in all pre-2007 applications, no exceptions.
I can also scroll through tables in Access 2007, but not in Word 2007 or Excel 2007. "Patrick Schmid" wrote: Does scrolling work in other programs? I'd look for a new driver for your mouse.

Scrolling in Word 2007
Problem solved. There was an IBM USB mouse app running on startup. When I
disbaled the "advanced features" (turned it off) everything was fine. Scrolling to my heart's content :-D "nymedic" wrote: The plot thickens. I can scroll in all pre-2007 applications, no exceptions.
