Vertical Scroll bar not visible
I can't see the vertical scroll bar on the right. I checked to see if it is enabled, and it is. A while back my "Normal" file got messed up somehow; that might be a clue. |

1. Make sure the window is maximized—that's caught me before!
2. If you don't have much to lose—custom styles, macros—with Word closed, delete Normal.dotx [and Normal.dotm if you have it]. Word will recreate Normal.dotx with default values next time you open Word. 3. Disable the scrollbar, close & reopen Word, and re-enable it—sometimes settings need a friendly kick in the tickbox. |

Office programs will automatically hide the scroll bar. You can move the mouse to re-display it.
The options in Windows 10 settings have no effect on this, unfortunately.

Ah, I'd forgotten about that, since I disabled that a long time ago.
File > Options > Advanced > Display section 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.
