How do you turn scroll bars on in Word 2007?

[Mikey]

Somehow I've lost the scroll bar in Word 2007....and cannot find a way to
turn it on. Is there a control for this? Or...is this a "new feature".

[Jay Freedman]

Click the Office button > Word Options > Advanced. Scroll down to the
Display group, where you'll find check boxes for showing the vertical
and horizontal scroll bars.

I'm not familiar with the Macintosh versions of Word. But if there is no
ribbon or Office button, perhaps there is a Tools menu (or Preferences or
whatever the term is in Mac versions)?

Well, to begin with there is no "Word 2007 for Macs"... You must have 2004,
2008 (or possibly v.X which preceded the latter 2 versions) but whatever
version you do have will sport no Office Button.

Keep in mind that scroll bars only appear when needed, so if the entire
width of the document appears within your window there will be no Horizontal
scrollbar. Likewise, if the full height of a 1 page document is displayed
there will be no need for a Vertical scroll bar.

If you're convinced that a needed scrollbar is, in fact, missing go to Word>
Preferences> View where you'll find the respective checkboxes for each
scroll bar in the Window group. Restore the missing checks.

If you continue to have a problem there is a specific newsgroup for each of
the Mac Office products. Post to the Mac Word group & be sure to include
your exact version & update information for both Office & OS X as well as
nay additional supporting details you can supply. However, I would highly
recommend that you access the newsgroups using Entourage as a newsreader
rather than using the Mactopia Forums -- they're just plain dead right now.

If you aren't familiar with subscribing to newsgroups have a look at the
information here on how to do so:
