How do I fix the problem of not being able to scroll with a mouse in a
worksheet?

Hi,

Exactly what do you mean - the scroll bars no longer work? you don't see
scroll bars? You can use the mouse wheel?

Thanks,
Shane Devenshire

What I mean is that my mouse wheel isn't working to scroll thru a worksheet.
My scroll bars function fine. When I try to scroll thru a worksheet using
the mouse wheel it doesn't work. Interestingly, my mouse wheel works if I
want to scroll down a list of options from a menu bar item. My mouse wheel
also works in Excel 2003. However, my mouse wheel isn't allowing me to
scroll when I open any worksheet in Excel 2007. Any suggestions?

I am also having this issue. However, I can scroll through the worksheet,
but not the drop down lists. I am using 2007.

Frozen Panes?

ScrollArea is set in VBA?

More details please and what have you tried to correct the problem.

Add me to the mix...I'm having the same problem...can scroll directly on the
screen but cannot use the mouse scroll and everything else within scrolls
with the mouse when using a drop down and use, I'm using Excel 2007.

HELP!

Looks like no one knows how to fix since this has been going on since 2008!

Works fine here, perhaps it is your mouse software that is the issue.
Try updating to a later version.

Sue,
Did you get an answer? What I did was removed the microsoft office 2007
software and then downloaded it back on my computer. It is working and I
feel great. I tryed everthing and this was the only thing that worked!!!!

I tried uninstalling office 2007, deleting the Excel Folder under the local
Documents and Settings and Programs Folder, and reinstalling office 2007 but
this did not resolve the problem. It also happens only in Excel, works fine
in all other applications. All spreadsheets affected. WinXP SP3, Office
2007 SP2.

Go to the controlpanel
Mouse settings
Wheel: uncheck universal scroll and check the one for MS Office 97

This will make the scroll work in excel again :)

Connie,
We had this same problem in our office when upgrading to Office 2007. Any pc
that had a lenovo or ibm mouse had to be changed out with an hp or another
brand mouse and it fixed all our machines.

That did it for me. It was scrolling fine even in other sheets of the same workbook. I guess I had a large area locked. Unfreezing Panes worked great (behavior back to normal). Thanks.
