Re: Why doesn't the style of the text show up on the Ribbon?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

While I concede that users are complaining about mouse issues with Word
2007, the problem is not universal. Using Windows XP and the mouse driver
5.1.2600.0 dated 1/7/2001 with a Microsoft wireless mouse there are no
zooming or scrolling problems here. On the advanced settings of the driver
the settings (probably default) are sample rate 100, wheel detection -
Assume wheel is present, Input Buffer length 100 packets, and Fast
initilaization is checked.

If the problem is with Vista then all bets are off :(

Right. It's decidedly a problem with Word (and with Outlook's
formatted item windows, such as for messages and contact notes).
While I suppose it's possible that they'll fix it, I'm not
optimistic. I've tried, but haven't succeeded in getting anyone at
Microsoft to replicate the problem yet. Until they actually see it
happening, I'm not optimistic for getting it fixed... unless it's
fixed as a side-effect of their fixing something related. But, I'll
keep trying.

To: Herb Tyson,

Hmm ... you're right, if I give it a hard spin, zooming happens. Off
course,
not with such a fine touch that it would be helpful. But
Ctrl+Mouse-Wheel works in other applications, so it is not the fault
of the mouse, but of Word
2007. Is it possible they might come up with a fix and someday my
mouse will
be able to zoom in Word?

I have the same zooming issue. I do find that if I give the mouse
wheel a good hard spin, it does actually "work", but not
predictably. I've narrowed the problem down in my case to being an issue
with
Microsoft
mice and the IntelliPoint driver. Ctrl+Zoom wheel on the OEM
non-Microsoft
mouse that came with my computer works fine. Might that be an
option in your
case?

Unfortunately, I have the 5-button type of mouse, which I've
reprogrammed,
and which I rely on extensively in everyday computing. So, I've
adapted in
Word 2007 (Outlook 2007 messages have the same issue here) by a)
using the
zoom control on the status bar in Word b) also relying upon
keyboard-controlled macros in Word, and c) relying upon QAT-tool
controlled
macros in Outlook.

To: Bob Buckland & Suzanne S. Barnhill,

Thank you both, that is lots of help.

The only other problem I'm having is that Ctrl+Mouse Wheel doesn't
change
the zoom. I left a message in "New Users," but didn't receive any
answer.
I've seached the web and noticed that others had the same problem,
but no
one
had a fix. I notice that there are zoom controls at the bottom left
corner
of
Word 2007, but since Ctrl+Mouse Wheel works in other Microsoft
products and
previous versions of Word, I wonder why I can't get it to work with
Word
2007. Any ideas?
