How do I get my mouse to scroll in an Excel document?

[seh]

The scroll wheel on my mouse will not work when I am within an Excel
document. It works just fine in Excel help, but not in a document. It is an
HP wireless mouse, and it scrolls in Word and other applications, just not
Excel.

What does it do in Excel? What version of Excel are you using?

Nothing happens at all when I try to use the quick-scrolling roller ball on
the top of the HP mouse. It works in Excel help and all other programs, just
not Excel. It is Excel 2007.

If you click the Office button and go to Excel Options | Advanced is
"Zoom on roll with Intellimouse" checked?

Yes it is. I just tried to use the scroll button on the mouse with that
option toggled and untoggled, but neither allows me to scroll with the roller
ball on the mouse.

Do you have the HP Mouse software installed? If so do you have
"Universal Scrolling" enabled?

I installed the software in August when we purchased the laptop. How do I
determine if I have "universal scrolling" enabled?

 

[seh]

I found that in the mouse properties, and "universal scrolling" is enabled.
The only program I can't use the scrolling with is Excel.

Any idea what else I can do to resolve the problem?

Did you ever get this figured out? I am having the same problem with a Vista computer and Excel 06

I found a way (windows 7 and excel 2007)
In control panel hardware mouse somewhere there is a box saying exceptions. I browsed to excel.exe in program files/ ms office/ etc and selected it. hit ok or apply it then worked.

You are the man! I just got a programmable mouse and did it that way lol. But not the same.
