I have Windows XP Home SP2 and Office 2007.
My mouse wheel works to scroll in other programs, including other ones
of Office 2007, and including the Help of Word 2007, but it doesn't
work in Word 2007 itself. The other methods used to scroll: dragging
the scroll bar's little rectangle, clicking on the arrows at the ends
of the scroll bar, clicking the wheel *button* and then positioning
the pointer above or below, using the right side strip of the touch-
pad on this laptop, or using the arrow keys, all work. But I can't
scroll the document using the wheel of the mouse in Word 2007.
When the pointer is over the ribbon in Word 2007, the mouse wheel
functions to rotate through the tabs of the ribbon.
The mouse happens to be a AMW15US Targus Notebook Wireless
Rechargeable Laser Mouse http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.asp?sku=AMW15US
.. I'm using the default settings. I don't see any place to download
new drivers. But, considering I can scroll in other programs, I tend
to believe this isn't a hardware issue.
I'm not positive, but I think I've had this problem ever since I've
had the mouse. Before this mouse, I only used the touch-pad, and
before that, I used a different machine that had another version of
Word.
Someone else posted a similar problem, and he or she fixed it
http://snipurl.com/1l2so by removing "an IBM USB mouse app" from the
startup. I don't seem to have that, though. Maybe another process is
the culprit. I suppose I could start disabling them one by one. I have
Windows Defender Process Explorer that's up to the task.
To repeat the question: How do I fix it so that I can use the mouse
wheel to scroll a document in Word 2007?
---------------------------
I solved the problem. I can now use the mouse wheel normally. I'll
post this anyway because I worked for an hour writing it. And it might
help someone who searches too ;--} .
I exited from the Mi Micor app, mouse32a.exe, that was showing in the
system tray and lived at
C:\Program Files\Micro Innovations\Mouse
I also unchecked it in Start > Run> msconfig > startup tab
I'll uninstall it after this post.
I vaguely remember installing the Micro Innovations software one night
a long time ago when I was trying to use a spare mouse I had lying
around.
