Not able to scroll down in Word 2003 with mouse wheel

[Guest]

I am no longer able to scroll down a document with my mouse wheel. Is there
a setting that I can change to allow me to do this again?

Hi Pat

First, use the Control Panel, find the part that deals with mouses, and see
if there is a setting there that enables you to turn the wheel on and off.

If that doesn't work, go to the website of the manufacturer of your mouse
and download a new driver.

Hope this helps.

Hi Shauna,

I don't think it's the mouse since the scroll wheel works in Excel and it
also works in the "Reading Layout" of word. However, in the other layouts,
The Scroll bar on the right does not appear which is normally there.

Hi Pat

Do you mean the vertical scroll bar is not displayed? Then you can turn it
on at Tools > Options > View.

However, that's not related to your mouse *wheel*.

Hope this helps.
