In the past, I could drag the scroll bar on the right and the document would move with it. For some reason, now it doesn't. I know I can scroll with the wheel, but I'd like the scroll bar to work.

The definitions for movement in Word97 are as follows:
Scroll up one line Click the up scroll arrow Scroll down one line Click the down scroll arrow Scroll up one screen Click above the scroll box Scroll down one screen Click below the scroll box Scroll to a specific page Drag the scroll box Scroll left Click the left scroll arrow Scroll right Click the right scroll arrow Scroll left, beyond the margin, in normal view Press SHIFT+ left scroll arrow

This comes directly from the Word97 help screen. So, perhaps you are thinking of a different version of Word, or perhaps you are thinking of a mouse center button or wheel function.

Yes - I said I can scroll with the mouse wheel. You mention dragging the scroll box - that's exactly what I said is not working. It's called "smooth scrolling". As you drag the scroll box, the document is supposed to move with it (in the opposite direction, actually). This is what used to work but now doesn't.
