Ah, I'd forgotten about that, since I disabled that a long time ago.

Tick the scroll bar boxes.

Even with those options selected, Word still auto-hides the scrollbars, I'm afraid.

I had never noticed this because they are always there when I move my pointer and want to use them. I guess I would notice if I were using a touch interface to edit my documents.

I'm not using a touch interface, either. However, I find that making the scroll bar reappear involves an extra step.

Huh, like Charles I'd never noticed the scrolls still disappear. Like Charles, they also reappear for me on mouse move. I'm not using touch, standard mouse & KB.

Shame it's not an option, I find the slider in the scrollbar to be a very useful at-a-glance indicator of where I'm at in a long doc.
