Scrolling in Word 2

[CalamityJake]

Hi. Can someone tell me how can I make Word scroll the contents of window while I'm dragging the scroll bar, not only after I release the button? I've seen it done on other computers.
Thanks.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, it sounds like you are clicking in the free space on the scroll bar which moves you down a paragraph at a time.

To scroll through the document, (L) click/hold and drag the slider between the up and down arrows on the scroll bar.

Hope this is the answer you wanted.

I meant exactly what I said. I hold the slider and drag it, but the contents of the document doesn't scroll, all I see is some tip - like text that says "Page i" (i varies while I'm dragging), and then I'm taken to page i when I release the button. It seems weird to you probably because for you scrolling works OK. Make a comparison between IExplorer and Word. I want them to scroll the same way. Note how the contents of the page moves while draggin in iexplore.
Thank you for your time.

Hi

You can do it via a registry edit

Go to: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Word\Options]

Create a new string value named 'LiveScrolling', or (if it already exists) modify the existing value, to equal '1' for live scrolling enabled or '0' for disabled. Close the registry and restart Word.

Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Word\Options]
Value Name: LiveScrolling
Data Type: REG_SZ
Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

This should do it.
