scroll mouse

[SBNagy]

Both listed fixes don't resolve my problem. The scoll function works only
over the slider bar but not over the body of the document.

The feature DOES work in other office apps.

I found various fixes listed throughout the internet such as at

but no luck.

Usually, scrolling or dead mouse problems are due to the Word DATA key
corrupting in the registry. Run Regedit and navigate to DATA and whilst
selected press DELETE. Word will recreate a new key when it is next started.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\version number\Word\Data

Hi,
I had this same mouse scrolling problem with Word. I surmise that it might
be linked to the kind of (laser) mouse I am using.
Deleting the DATA key did not work for me. Also I donÿt have any Word
Add-In that could be uninstalled.
But I found a workaround. I always run Word concurrently with a free
utility called ´KatMouse¡(http://www.code-scout.net/katmouse). The Word
window becomes scrollable then.
HTH.
