Help: Scroll wheel toggles between up and down, and left and right - is driving me crazy
I'm hoping that someone can help with this - it's driving me crazy....
Somehow - I can't for the lift of me figure out - I'm hitting something (or accidentally shortcutting something) on my spread sheet that forces the mouse wheel to toggle between scrolling the sheet up and down - as it should, to scrolling the sheet left to right -which is driving me nuts. Anyone know the trick to setting the scroll direction? Thanks for any tips. Office XP or Win XP pro. -- Dab Cut off: yourhead to respond |

Dab,
This is normal behaviour for a wheeled mouse when it cannot scroll down. The place that I see it most is when I have fewer posts in the OE window than a full window. In that case the posts scroll sideways. Is it possible that the scroll area has been limited? Regards Sandy -- to e-mail direct replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Dab" wrote in message ...

Hi Sandy:
Thanks for your note. I don't think that a scroll area has been limited. The problem occurs as I'm 'furiously' clicking around in a sheet. I'm accidentally clicking on something or coming up with some kind of a combination that's causing it to happen. When it happens, I'm not actually changing anything in an open sheet, it just seems to happen - at one point a sheet scrolls up and down, and a few seconds later, it scrolls left and right. I have to re-boot my machine to make it default back to scrolling up and down. -- Dab Cut off: yourhead to respond "Sandy Mann" wrote in message ...

Dab,
I have experienced the same problem since getting Office 2003 loaded. Couldn't figure out what was causing the problem. Searched all the discussion groups I could find, to no avail. I solved the problem by: 1) having a workbook open that is experiencing the problem 2) going to StartControl PanelMouseWheelTroubleshooterNextNext[then select Excel from the list]. It solved my problem, I hope it solves yours. "Dab" wrote: Hi Sandy: Thanks for your note. I don't think that a scroll area has been limited.
