I’m having the same issue with Star Office 8 on my Thinkpad R61. All my software is up to date, supposedly. And I can’t use the scroll function at all. Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks brukeâ€¦it works!!!!!
FINALLY it works!!

That’s what I did:

2. Place the â€œOffice 2007 Scroll Fixâ€ into the named files just _above_ the [AutoScrollTable] section

3. Replace the apostrophe(‘) on the first line with a semicolon(;), like this:

; Office 2007 Scroll Fix
*,*,WINWORD.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,MSPUB.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,POWERPNT.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,OUTLOOK.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,ONENOTE.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,INFOPATH.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,GROOVE.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,EXCEL.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,MSACCESS.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9

4. Where the Office programs (WINWORD.exe, OUTLOOK.exe, etc.) were referenced elsewhere in the files, I commented out those lines by placing a semicolon in front of each of those lines.

e.g.
*,*,iexplore.exe,*,smooth
;*,*,winword.exe,*,smooth
;*,*,outlook.exe,*,smooth
;*,*,excel.exe,*,smooth
*,*,msimn.exe,*,smooth

BUT!!!
Initially this fix did not work.
And found the files .dat in the folder Windows>System32. When I changed them, its worked!!!
Thank you.

It works now with the driver update. This was a hack when office 2k7 came out in its early days….

What a clusterf*ck the scoll driver is on the Thinkpads. Why can’t it just work like any other vanilla scroll wheel?

install the driver found at :

Hi,

Thank you all for the tips above – once Burke’s comments of 2 April actioned all is now working seamlessly with Office 2007 on WinXP on a T41, using the trackpoint.

Thanks.
