Scrolling Erratic in Word2004

I

Ian van Driel

I have found that the scroll arrows in the vertical scroll bar are
working erraticaly in Word2004. Sometimes I press them and nothing
happens. No problems in any other application including Office. Anyone
come across this and know a way out?

Hi Ian:

I suspect your document is getting a bit complex internally, or your
computer is a little low on free memory.

Word "does" pause on complex documents. Usually the pauses are not
sufficient to be really irritating, but they can become so if the computer
is a bit slow and has lots of other applications running.

If you experience the problem often, you will find it worth installing a
gigabyte of RAM. If you already have a gig of RAM, you may need to
de-corrupt your documents.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/CorruptDoc.htm

(Hit Refresh twice if Safari gives you a blank page the first time).

cheers
