Panning Hand

[KM]

When I first started using Word 2007, the panning hand was on the top of the
scroll bar. Now for some reason it is not there. How can I get the panning
hand back on top of the side scroll bar?

Thanks

I don't recall ever seeing a panning hand on a scroll bar in Word (any
version). The pointer will drag the "elevator." But perhaps the panning hand
is a result of using the scroll wheel on your mouse?

The panning hand appears in 2007 along with the split window, and view ruler
icons on top of the vertical scroll bar. It was there and it is still on my
other computer - there must be a preference somewhere that I changed.

Thanks anyway

The panning hand is a result of having a Tablet PC -- see

It isn't available on a desktop.

The panning hand is visible in my office 2007 program on my Vista Desktop
computer. Where I am missing the panning hand is on my XP laptop - so maybe
I have to have Vista. But there is a panning hand on my vista desktop
computer.

Thanks

Possibly you have some tablet-like functionality installed/activated on the
Vista PC. There is at least one bug that is present in the case of a Tablet
PC that also manifests itself on such a Vista based machine. That is the
ability to propagate the label setup to all labels on a sheet when setting
up a label type mail merge main document.
