mouse wheel zoom broken in Word 2007

[Patrick]

I used to find the Ctrl-rolling mouse wheel combination useful to zoom
in/out, something microsoft calls Data Zoom....the same thing as using
the slide in the status bar at the bottom.

In Word 2007 this is broken...but it works well for me in Firefox,
Acrobat, Excel and Powerpoint.

Is there a setting in Word to disable this function?

Thanks,
Patrick

Works for me. Compaq Presario V5305, Vista Home Premium, Office Standard.
Using Logitech cordless optical notebook mouse, basic Vista driver (no
Logitech Vista driver for this rodent)

I tested some more, and found a Logitech Wireless laser notebook mouse
works for Ctrl-wheel zooming.
I take the Logitech out, and use the larger, desktop size Microsoft
Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, and the wheel does not zoom in Word.
So some conflict in mouse driver seems to be a possible problem.....

Yikes, I just tried it some more, and found I can fix my own problem
by accelerating hard on the mouse wheel....it then does the zoom
function. So now maybe I have a kinda workaround, but not sure if I
can push the wheel hard enough all day long.

Thanks Val for setting me on the right track.

Same problem with me. But it works perfectly with the touch pad of my
laptop. The problem is only with wireless mouse and word 2007.
Everything is ok in excel, ppt, IE...
