Hello
Something has happened to my Word settings. That thin grey tube thing which you use to scroll up and down pages of document has gone.

Anyone know how to get it back.
BIG PLEASE!!

go into Word options, Advanced, and check the option Show vertical scroll bar.

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the View tab.
Under Show, select Vertical scroll bar check box.

Aaah, I should've come back on to say I was struggling and couldn't follow your instructions, but I felt too embarrassed.
... all worked out in the end though and i can continue to scroll
