Why does my Word 2003 start to roll off page after page for no re.

S

Soxie

I'm a writer and I might be on a chapter typing on page 3 or etc. When all
of a sudden the pages start to roll up page after page. I can't get the
program to stop. I press on the left mouse and then the right. I finally
get it closed out.

This has become a way of life for Word 2003. It starts acting up after I've
been typing for an hour or longer.

WHY??

Have you got a 2-button scroll mouse attached to your PC? If so then it
is likely that you are touching the scroller (the wheel on the mouse) by
mistake and so it scrolls the pages until you click on the right-hand
side scroll bars in Office 2003 applications. In my experience, this is
very common with Microsoft 2-button scroll mouse.

I do have a mouse with 2 buttons.
However, I never use a mouse in the typing of my work. It is during the
typing are when I stop to get a picture in my mind of what I want to say
next. I have replaced mouse, uninstalled word 3000, and reinstalled it.

What is puzzling is Wordperfect does not have this problem. I did remove it
from PC by request of a friend to see if it would help. No...didn't help.

Thanks for trying. Think of something else Please let me know.

Is your microphone on? If you turn it off, does the scrolling stop?

Thanks Milly,
However, I did check my mike and it is off.
Maybe next one will hit it.
