Scroll wheel not working in Word 7
I have Word for Windows 95 version 7.0. I am using it on my current
XP Home SP3 system, and it works fine, except that the mouse scroll wheel doesn't work in Word. It works fine in all other apps. Any suggestions? It is a Labtec mouse. Device Manager says: PS/2 Compatible Mouse This device is working properly Driver Provider: Microsoft Driver Date: 01/07/2001 Driver Version: 5.1.2600.0 (I know there are more recent versions of Word, but I'm a skinflint. I was using Open Office for a while, but find it slower and more clunky than Word, though it is handy for opening files from more recent versions of Word that my elderly version doesn't like.) With thanks Pensive Hamster |

While you're waiting for someone who knows what they are talking about, take a look at your mouse settings. There's some sort of "legacy" mode which you can set for programs that don't work properly. I've never had to do this, so I'm just passing on what I recall reading. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk |

Scroll wheel not working in Word 7
Hi,
Try running "WizMouse" concurrently with Word (free utility found at www.antibody-software.com).

There is a Program Compatibility Wizard for getting older programs to run on Windows XP, which I tried a while ago, but that doesn't seem to help. PH |

The 'Enable mouse wheel for applications without mouse wheel support' option is ticked OK. It does enable scrolling in non focused-on windows without clicking first, so to that extent it must have installed correctly. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, it was worth a try.

Scroll wheel not working in Word 7
ODDLY ENOUGH,
There is an issue with IE8, popup boxes, where both the rovot Wheel and up-and-down-arrows have no effect ... (e.g. it's defeated on msdn.com/library feedback).

Had a quick search on msdn.com, but couldn't find anything directly relevant, though I did learn about Ctrl - wheel for zooming in and out of webpages (and in Open Office too), which is handier than Ctrl +/-. So I've learnt something new today. PH |
