Re: How can I enable mouse scroll wheel function in Word 2007?

An answer elsewhere pointed out that the wheel does scroll as long as the
Word window is not active - surely a fault in the MS programming

What if you give the wheel a really fast twirl? Does it work then?

I find that it works if twirled really fast, but not very well, and it can't
be controlled with any precision. My own "solution" is that I've given up
using Ctrl+Zoom in Word 2007, and use either the slider in the status bar
(bottom of the Word window) or the Zoom control built into my keyboard.

Good point - I just checked the same thing. Well done M$. Scrolling
doesn't
work in Word, but works in Word help. As someone has pointed out,
switching
from Enhanced Scroll Mode to Intelli-Mouse mode works, but I don't
know how
to set the same scroll rate - where I had 3 lines per scroll unit.

Ctrl-Wheel_roll zooms in most applications I run (Firefox, Acrobat,
Excel'07, Powerpoint'07), but NOT Word'07.
I'm using Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and Intellioint
6.10.158.0.

My wheel scrolls up/down the document, but with Ctrl-wheel there is no
zoom in/out ike other applications.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Patrick
