Hi! I have a problem with Microsoft Word 365. Let say I am on page 10, and I scroll back a page or two to see something, Microsoft Word automatically takes me back to the current page that I was on. It does this repeatedly and it will not let me go back to a former page. Any suggestion on how to prevent this from happening?

Click in the page that you want to be on. The scroll bar moves your view. It does not change the insertion point.

I have tried that and it is effective maybe for short documents. The documents I work with are very lengthy, sometimes hundreds of pages, and it will not give you the chance to put the cursor on the new page before it quickly scrolls back. You see it for less than one second and there is no time to click the cursor on the new page before it scrolls back to the original spot.

I tried that with the shorter document and it still scrolls back to the original page without letting you click on where you wanted to go.

While I do have Office 365, I do not have Office 2007 installed any more. Your profile says one and your question says the other. You should probably edit your profile.

Is this happening if you open Word in safe mode? I am not seeing this.

Charles, Thanks for your help! I'll try it in safe mode.
