I can no longer scroll in Word

I can no longer scroll through a document in Word, can someone tell me how to fix it?

you have provided minimal information in your question. to help, we need lots!
what version of Word? -  Apple Menu > About Microsoft Word
what has changed since this began? update / upgrade software - system or App?
have you updated Yosemite to version 10.10.*1* ? -- in the Finder -  Apple Menu > About this Mac
to clarify, scrolling is normal in all other App & Finder windows?
In Word, are the scroll bars 'present' (visible)?
     if present, are all scroiling functions failing?
          mouse click
               arrows - both 'fine' and 'page' <-(my Word version has its own scroll unique button versions, separate from System)
                    up, down, left, right - (last two depends on Zoom of page)
               in the blank areas of the scroll bars - 'page' or 'jump to here' as set in System Prefs *(see OS X Yosemite: General preferences )
               click, hold & drag the scroll BAR itself
does the page scroll using the arrow keys?
     when the text cursor moves past the visible portion of the document page?
     when using key combination - fn Function + 'up' or 'down' and/or fn Function + 'left' ('Home' or top of page) & 'right' ('End' or bottom of page)
these answers will get us started...
with anticipation

  • Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps).  Seriously?!?!?!?!!   What are my alternatives?

    Hi Mary and Matthew
    You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
    You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
    I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

  • I can no longer scroll on my iMac in Mavericks

    For some reason completely unknown to me, I suddenly can no longer scroll, or even see scrollbars on my iMac, running Mavericks. It's been perfectly fine for months and just yesterday...poof! No scrolling.
    At first I thought it was limited to Safari, but then noticed it's for all browsers and all programs on my computer.
    Can anyone please help me with this? The only searches I've done show articles at least two years old.
    P.S. I can "scroll" with the up-down arrow keys, but not with a mouse of any kind (wired or wireless), and the scroll bars do not appear until I use the arrow keys.
    27", Late 2012 iMac
    OS X 10.9.3

    Leroy, this has to be the single most embarrassing thing I've ever done on a computer.
    The restart worked.
    In my own lame defense, I had just restarted my iMac prior to this occurring, so I figured the last thing that would fix this would be another restart.
    I know you can't see it, but my head is hanging in shame!
    Thank you for mentioning the restart. I'm always telling people to reboot before doing anything else, and this time, I should have done it myself.
    I'm going to go hide under a rock for a while.
    Thanks again!

  • I can no longer scroll through app selections in Genius iPad

    I can no longer scroll through app selections in Genius on my iPad in the App Store. I see the first row and half of the second row and cannot scroll. This is a new condition. Landscape or portrait is the same.

    Just adding my voice as well.
    Had this issue for awhile now. Believe it must have surfaced after last iOS update.
    Quite annoying since Genius was a good way to quick browse for new app suggestions.

  • Satellite P series - I can no longer scroll using edge of the touch pad

    Please can anyone tell me why I can no longer scroll using the edge of the touch pad.
    This seems to have occurred since I had to reinstall Vista following a problem with some faulty Ram.
    Thanks

    Hi
    One reason can be a missing touchpad driver.
    But if the touchpad driver has been installed, then you should check the settings of the touchpad.
    In control panel -> mouse you will find the touchpad properties. It should be the last tab.
    There you can check enable and disable and configure many options.
    Cheers

  • Since the latest version of itunes, my playlists are "too large" to fit on the computer screen.  I can no longer scroll down because the far right side of the screen is too far over.  How can I minimize the screen or be able to scroll down my list?  Thx!

    Since the latest version of itunes, my playlists are too large to fit on the screen. The left side, with all my playlists is still there, but  I can no longer scroll down the chosen playlist as the far right is no longer accessible.  Any suggestions on how to minimize the list?  Thanks.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

  • I can no longer open MS Word. How to restore?

    Hi,
    A while ago, maybe a year, I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac. I got Word, Excel and a few other things. I used Word fairly frequently to read .docs. I noticed a couple of months ago I can no longer open Word. I always get an error box 'Microsoft Word cannot be opened because of a problem.' Doesn't say what problem is. My guess is I accidentally deleted something critical to opening and using Word.
    I would like to re-install the software. The problem is I can't find the MS Office discs. I do not know if I purchased discs or a download. I know that I purchased it but can't remember how and don't seem to have any evidence.
    Excel opens and works fine. And I see the Word icon in my 'Applications'. But won't open.
    Is there some way I can find out how I purchased this thru Apple and get a back-up download or something? Is there some registration number or proof of purchase attached to a file on my computer I can use to get a replacement download?
    Would/Could I have purchased this as part of a larger purchase -- it's not part of the Snow Leopard Box Set is it? Does not seem to be.
    Thanks.

    Check your credit card(s) invoices. You need to keep them for more than 1 year anyway, for tax purposes. You probably can access them on-line.

    You're begging the question -- did you purchase it from Apple? Not particularly likely.

  • Can no longer scroll to view my messages..anyone know how to fix this??

    To view email - I can no longer srcoll using the two fingers on the pad to scroll my mail. Have to delete the previous message to see new ones. Need a FIX!

    Did you try restarting?

  • I can no longer scroll with the button on my touch pad. Have tried everything on Firefox help and still can't scroll....HELP please.

    I have just updated to the Firefox 4 Beta and from having no problems at all with the previous version I can now no longer scroll. I have reloaded my touch pad drivers and also been onto "about:config" and altered various things suggested by 'firefox help' and still no luck. The scroll button on the touch pad does still work as I can still scroll in Thunderbird and any of the other programs that I use, just not with Firefox any longer. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

    Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.
    I might have uninstall an old Java JRE, don't remember when I did it, could that have done it?

  • After down loading os 10.7, I can no longer open microsoft word

    After down loading os 10.7, I can no longer open microsoft word

    No, your old Word files should still be where you left them and can be opened by either a current version of Office:mac or even Apple Pages (more or less).  The problem that you are having (we think) is that you are trying to run an older version of Microsoft Office:mac (e.g. Office:mac 2004 or older) and this software was compiled for a PowerPC processor.  The last few versions of the Mac OS has allowed PowerPC programs to run on an Mac with an Intel processor through a translation system called Rosetta that converted PowerPC code to Intel code.  However, Apple stopped providing that software in 10.7 so any PowerPC applications will no longer run.
    Office:mac 2008 and Office:mac 2011 will run on an Intel-based Mac and therefore will run on 10.7.

  • I can no longer scroll through pages in Google Books.

    Late last year I suddenly noticed I could no longer scroll through the pages of Google eBooks when visiting the site. I am forced to click the < and > arrows to toggle through the pages (and incidentally, before I noticed this, I had the option of arrow navigation or scrolling). This makes it difficult to use this particular Google product, and I am forced to move more and more of my activities to the Chrome browser.
