Allow wheel mouse scrolling in Word
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? -- Suzanne S.

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. -----Original Message----- If you don't click in the pane, how is Word supposed to know which window you want to scroll? -- Suzanne S.

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 €śmouse over€ť. 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.
