Text scrolls even when I don't touch the scroll bar. Office 2003.
When I touch the touch pad on my notebook, I intermittently experience
scrolling even when the arrow is pointing at text. A small rectangle apears below the arrow with + and - indicated, and the scrolling is in the corresponding direction. This is also happening in Explorer as I write but does not happen in, say, Windows Notebook. I am using Office 2003 on Vista Home Basic. |

It sounds like your touch pad has scrolling enabled. Check your Mouse
Properties in the Control Panel and see if scrolling can be disabled and/or decrease the sensitivity. Most have this option but it depends on your touch pad/computer. Personally, I love the ability to use the touch pad to scroll since I don't use a wheel mouse. If you can determine what you are doing exactly to start scrolling (chances are you are near the right edge or bottom of the touch pad - these are typically the scrolling zones) you might find you prefer it too. :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

I have a similar problem except that my touch pad won't scroll. I looked
under Mouse properties but there is nothing that enables/disables this function or adjusts the sensitivity. Is there anywhere else that I might be able to fix this? I am running Windows Vista.

See if there's a 'mouse' driver upgrade available that does provide these
functions. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Emily wrote: I have a similar problem except that my touch pad won't scroll.
