A. In Office 2000, in particular Word 2000, when you move through aWord document using the scroll bar the page update happens dynamically. UnderWord 97 the update does not occur until you release the mouse button. Livescrolling can be enabled under Word 97 as follows:
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice8.0WordOptions
From the Edit menu select New - String Value
Enter a name of LiveScrolling and press Enter
Double click the new value and set to 1. Click OK
Restart Word and the screen will update as you move the scroll bar and notjust when its released.
