Default Page does not actively scroll with click, hold and drag on scroll-bar

Hello,



I have a little issue with Word which I can't find any discussion on elsewhere. I want to be able to actively see the page scroll when I click, hold and drag the scroll-bar in a Word document.

At the moment, when I click, hold and drag my scroll-bar, I see a little text box open up which describes the page (page number and section title) at the new position of the scroll-bar but the currently viewed section of the document doesn't change. In most other programs (i.e. Adobe Reader, or internet browser) the currently viewed page moves as a drag the slider along it's track.

Is there a setting I can change to enable the viewable section of the document to actively move as I drag the scroll-bar?

Thanks in advance.

Question

Hmm. I just realised this problem only occurs when I'm viewing a document in 'two-page' view, where two pages are viewed side-by-side. Is this a bug? Do other people have this same issue?

EDIT: Found some discussion on this issue here. Though no true solution was offered.

My 'workaround' will simply be to use single-page viewing. However, I'd like this scrolling capability while in two-page view. I can't imagine why it would be disabled for that mode, other than it being a bug. The main reason I like to be able to scroll as I've described is so that I can momentarily scroll down to a point in the document and look at something, and then move my cursor off the slider toward the middle of the screen (while still holding down click) - which causes the current viewing position to return to the initial position when the scroll-bar was first clicked and held - meaning I don't lose my place.
