If scrolling with the mouse scroll wheel is not working in Word 2007, there are a few potential solutions you can try:
Check the settings: Make sure the scroll wheel functionality is enabled in Word 2007. To do this, go to the "Office Button" (the round button in the top-left corner) and click on the "Word Options" button at the bottom. In the Word Options window, select
the "Advanced" tab, and under the "Editing options" section, ensure that the "Zoom on roll with IntelliMouse" checkbox is checked. Click "OK" to save the changes.
Update mouse drivers: Sometimes outdated or incompatible mouse drivers can cause issues with scrolling. Visit the manufacturer's website for your mouse and download the latest drivers for your specific model. Install the updated drivers and restart your
computer. Then, check if the scrolling functionality is restored in Word 2007.
Repair or reinstall Office: If the above steps didn't resolve the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with your Office installation. You can try repairing the installation to fix any corrupted files. Go to the Control Panel, open the "Programs
and Features" or "Add or Remove Programs" option (depending on your version of Windows), locate Microsoft Office in the list of installed programs, right-click on it, and select "Change" or "Repair." Follow the prompts to repair the installation. If
repairing doesn't work, you may need to uninstall and reinstall Office.
Try compatibility mode: If you're using a newer version of Windows, it's possible that Word 2007 is not fully compatible. You can try running Word 2007 in compatibility mode. Right-click on the Word 2007 shortcut or executable file, select "Properties,"
go to the "Compatibility" tab, and check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for." Choose an older version of Windows from the drop-down menu and click "OK." Launch Word 2007 and check if the scrolling issue is resolved.
Hopefully, one of these solutions will enable the scrolling functionality with the mouse scroll wheel in Word 2007. Tips by
