Vertical scrollbar
Hi all
My vertical scrollbar disappeared from my screen for no reason so I went into Tools, Options, View and ticked the relevant box. However, every time I use Word, I have to go into here because it's disappeared again. This has only started happening the past few weeks and I don't know why. How do I ask it keep the toolbar there by default so I don't have to keep doing this? Thank you. Louise |

Vertical scrollbar
Word 2003 particularly has a habit of losing some of the settings in tools
options. Some users have reported that resetting the Word data key in the registry fixes it, but it didn't work for me and I have found the only reliable solution is to force Word to use the settings I want in auto executing macros. In this case adding the line ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True to both an autopen and an autonew macro in normal.dot will ensuse that it is correct for each document. FWIW I have the following options set on my PC, which cover the problems that would otherwise cause me some concern. Feel free to adapt to your own requirements. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Sub AutoNew() ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView '.Type = wdNormalView .Zoom.Percentage = 500 .Zoom.Percentage = 100 .FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected .ShowFieldCodes = False .DisplayPageBoundaries = True .ShowDrawings = True End With CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False End Sub Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView .Zoom.Percentage = 500 .Zoom.Percentage = 100 .FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected .ShowFieldCodes = False .DisplayPageBoundaries = True .ShowDrawings = True End With End Sub Sub AutoExec() CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False CommandBars("Mail Merge").Visible = False Application.OnTime _ When:=Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), Name:="CodesOff" End Sub Sub CodesOff() On Error GoTo oops ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False oops: End Sub Louise wrote: Hi all My vertical scrollbar disappeared from my screen for no reason so I went into Tools, Options, View and ticked the relevant box.

Blimey, I had no idea that such a simple problem is so hard to fix!!
thanks very much for this, I'll see if I can create the macros. Louise "Graham Mayor" wrote: Word 2003 particularly has a habit of losing some of the settings in tools options.

What have you changed in the past few weeks? Have you installed other
software, especially anything that might include a Word add-in? Add-ins are notorious for changing settings. Even if this is the problem, knowing that probably won't help unless the add-in is one you can afford to discard, so Graham's macro will be what you need. -- Suzanne S.

Nothing has been changed/added in the last few weeks. The PC itself was
re-built but that was about 8 weeks ago and this toolbar problem has only started the past week. Thanks all for your help. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: What have you changed in the past few weeks?
