No scroll bar even though settings are correct

[Lorretta]

I'm desperate to get my horizontal scroll bar back. I am running a brand-new Windows 7 machine with Word 2007. (The same software version of Word 2007 I'm running now ran well on my XP machine.)

The scroll bar was working until I exited Word. I went back in and now it's gone. I've checked Word Options/Advanced/Display and made sure that "Show horizontal school bar" is checked. It is. I exited Word and rebooted to try to get the scroll bar back, but no luck.

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi Loretta,

Unless your page width is greater than the screen width, there won't be a horizontal scroll bar. AFAIK, you don't get a horizontal scroll bar in the web layout view, either.

Thanks, Macropod. I had never noticed that was the case, but when I set up the files side by side, sure enough the scroll bar appears. Thanks so much.
