Wheel Mouse and Power Point
To All,
Its been 7+ years, but I now need to do some work in PowerPoint. I opened a blank PowerPoint presentation and tried to use my Logitech Optical Wheel (Corded) mouse to scroll up and down the page in Normal, Outline, and Slide views. No cigar, it did not work. The Ctrl+Wheel feature DID allowed me to zoom in and out, but the wheel feature alone did not allow me to scroll up and down the page. I checked to be sure that I had the latest Logitech drivers for the mouse and then I tried it a Microsoft Intelli mouse. Nothing worked. I am using PowerPoint Ver 9.0 from Office 2K. I have tried this on both Win XP (at home) and Win 2000 NT (at work). Any advice? Thanks Gary Frankel |

Scrolling only works if the amount of information/objects exceeds the available
space in the pane. If you are just opening a blank presentation, you only have one slide in the slide pane and only one in the outline pane and the slide has no objects on it. How does the mouse work once you have a couple slides created with text, images and other objects on the slides? You may need to go to View Zoom 200% to see the scroll work within a particular slide. -- Sonia Coleman Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun Software, Templates and Tutorials (Never test the depth of the water with both feet.)

Wheel mouse support in PPT is spotty (or weird, you might say) If you click on the slide in the slide pane, then the mouse wheel will scroll from one slide to the next in a multi-slide presentation, but it doesn't behave exactly like the scrollbar does (ie, it won't scroll you down to a shape that's off-screen because you're zoomed way in or it's off the slide). -- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Featured Presenter, PowerPoint Live 2004 October 10-13, San Diego, CA www.PowerPointLive.com ================================================ |
