Scrolling appears disabled, office 2004

[Henry]

Folks:

MacOS 10.3.3, Office 2004

I opened an existing 30 page document just now, changed the version text at
the middle of the first page, and saved as, with a new filename.

When I came back to edit, I notice that the scroll bar at the right was
disabled, as if the document was only one page long.

The first page fills one physical page. I did a mouse-down select sweep
downwards from the center of the first page into the second page, confirming
my document was (probably) intact. No change on the scroll bar.

After I exited Word and re-launched, the problem went away.

The only thing that might have made this occur is that I switched to
Entourage to check an email during the "save as". That should not have any
effect on the scroll bars, but ...

No big deal, just wondering if anyone else has seen this. I haven't seen it
before.

Thanks,

Henry

It has been a preference since Adam was in short pants.

Scroll bars are for sissies.

Hi Henry:

Nope: Never heard of that one, but the 10.3.4 patch from Apple responds to
one of the issues we have seen in this area.

Let us know if you can repro it and we'll bug it for you.

Cheers
