Default How do I make mouse scroll wheel work in excel

Mouse SCROLL WHEEL works in all other office 2007 products but not in Excel.
Is there some hidden setting to make this work?

Thumbs up Answer: How do I make mouse scroll wheel work in excel

Yes, there is a setting in Excel that controls the behavior of the mouse scroll wheel. Here's how you can enable it:
  1. Open Excel and click on the "File" tab in the top left corner.
  2. Click on "Options" at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
  3. In the Excel Options window, click on "Advanced" in the left-hand menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "Editing options" section.
  5. Check the box next to "Zoom on roll with Intellimouse".
  6. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Now your mouse scroll wheel should work in Excel just like it does in other Office 2007 products. If you have a different type of mouse, you may need to look for a similar setting in your mouse software or control panel.

Default How do I make mouse scroll wheel work in excel

Hi Rae,

Scroll wheel can be used to Zoom or Scroll.

To Scroll:
Click Microsoft Button (Large button top left)
Click Options (Towards bottom right of dialog box)
Click Advanced (Left column)
In Editing Options (First block)
Uncheck Zoom on roll with Intellimouse.

I tried what you suggested but no luck. I don't have an Intellimouse but I
can scroll on everything (including this dialog box and the help dialog box
in Excel 2007) but not in a spreadsheet. It works in the new Word and it
worked in the old version of Excel, but not the new on. Anything else I can
try?

I was having the same problem. To fix the issue:

1) Goto Control Panel Mouse Wheel Tab

Note: This may vary depending on your version of Windows OS.

2) There should be an Exceptions button or tab there.

3) Give a name of your choice and Browse and add Exel.exe. Click OK.

Click Apply and lastly click OK... you're done!

Had the same problem. Tried everything I could find on the web. I plugged in a wired mouse pushed down the scroll button and it started scrolling. Unplugged the wired mouse and now the wireless mouse works in excel.

If not solved by applying above method, close MS Excel, rename extension of excel12.xlb to "old".
