Composing Lengthy Message -Outlook 2007

[Vip]

Hi I am experiencing a minor, but irritating, gitch when composing a long
message. As the vertical scroll bar appears the view 'jumps' up so that,
while the cursor is still at the bottom of the page and characters enter in
the right place, I am looking at the top of the message.

Any iedas on what I can do to fix this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Vip

I cannot repro this behavior. For me the vertical scroll bar is always
visible but this might be because I have the "Panning Hand" on top of the
scroll bar as I'm using a Tablet PC configuration.

I have the same problem, and am surprised to find that most people apparently
don't. I've tried numerous ways to search for answers, and finally I found
your post. But no answers! I hope someone can help.

I have the full version of Office 2007. I removed all addins, and got rid
of the serious performance problems. I can't recall if this was also
happening in the Beta version, but it is consistent now. And yes, very
irritating!

The only thing I can think of that might be different in my setup from
others is that I use a larger font for messages, since my screen resolution
is set high.

If anyone else is having the same problem, or knows how to fix this, please
answer.

And me! It's enormously annoying, and I can't figure it out. It seems to
occur when the characters in a line length are longer than a previous one,
but this doesn't seem to happen when the message is still all visible and the
scoll button is at the at the top, only if the scroll button has moved, at
which point it'll jump back to the top. I'm even condsidering writing emails
in haiku until a resolution is found.

Same glitch here and it's driving me insane. I don't know where else to look
for answers. I've tried everything I can think of.

 

[bobc]

Yep, add me to the list...

Any reason/fix yet?

For what? You snipped any prior message that relates to what you are talking about.

As per the placement of my message, I thought my topic was evident:

Of more concern, any resolution?

OK...wow. First of all - are all supposed "MVP" posters so rude?
Milly - Try reading the post that you are typing in and you will understand
what these people are referring to.
This was rather rude as well Milly:

OKAY! Now that I have that off of my chest!


Hey VIP, Marsha and bobc,


This is from a post on 8/22/07 - hope it helps:

I fixed it!!!

I have been playing around with the settings for my mouse and came across an
option for the wheel of:
Enable Universal scrolling - where you could add in exceptions. I added in
Outlook and Word - but still same problem.

Other option for wheel was - Use Microsoft Office 97 Scrolling Emulation only.

So then I decided to select this option - Hey presto... scrolling now works
in all Office 97 applications and still works in Internet explorer as well.

Hope this might help someone else - check your mouse settings for wheel!!

So, what is the "same problem?"

She wasn't rude, and if you actually LOOK at the original post to which
Milly responded, this is EVERYTHING it contained:

-----
Yep, add me to the list...

Any reason/fix yet?
-----

Now, how does that give anyone any clue as to what the problem is?

Milly - Try reading the post that you are typing in and you will
understand what these people are referring to.

That was after bobc went back, as Milly suggested, and finally included the
context of the message to which he though he was originally replying but
wasn't.

I am using Outlook 2007under Vista.

I am having the same problem as others have described. If composing a fairly
long e-mail, when the text reaches the bottom of the window and wraps to the
next line, the view and the scroll bar often (but not always) reset to the
beginning of the message , instead of remaining at the end of the message. So
you then have to manually scroll down to see what you are typing. As noted,
this happens often but not always - in some cases the scrolling behavior is
as it should be. I have not identified anything that differentiates the cases
where it scrolls properly and when it does not. As noted by others, the
cursor always seems to move to the appropriate position at the end of the
message, but the view does not.

I was going to try the solution suggested in Robert's post, but the only
Mouse properties options under the "Wheel" tab in Vista relate to how many
lines or characters it scrolls when you roll or tilt the wheel. There isn't
an option relating to scrolling emulation.

I have been using Outlook 2007 since early this year, and the problem has
always been there. It is not debilitating but quite annoying!
