Is there anyone who can help with this, as it's really annoying (and yes, I have googled and posting here is my last resort).


The vertical scroll bar has disappeared. I have no idea why. I am having to use the up/down and page up/page down keys to move up and down documents.


The "show vertical scroll bar" is ticked in the Word settings. I have tried unticking it then ticking it again, and that didn't work.


I have no idea what I might have done to cause this. It has only happened in the last couple of weeks. I've tried reducing the screen size in case the scroll bar had somehow disappeared from view off to the right, but that didn't work either.


All suggestions gratefully received!


And just to repeat, I have googled!!! However I accept I may have missed something vital!

Yes, mine must have been set to "on" as well before the scroll bars disappeared, as I never even knew that setting existed and I would have had no reason to change it from what it was.


I usually use a separate keyboard and mouse with my laptop, but lately because I had it in a different room I have been using the touchpad, and I'm wondering if it's something I've accidentally done with that.


It's a Dell.


Nope, just had a look at the touchpad settings and there's nothing I can see that could possibly have caused the scroll bars to disappear.

Okay


Next step

In Word


Click File > Options.


On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Display section.


Select Show horizontal scroll bar and Show vertical scroll bar, and then click OK.



If that doesn't help


Step 3


On the Title bar in Word click Word.


Click Preferences, and then click View.


Make sure you have selectec Horizontal scroll bar and Vertical scroll bar and then close the dialog.

Thanks, I had already done the first part, but I've looked again and they are both ticked, and I've clicked OK again, but no joy.


I can't see anywhere to click "Word" on the title bar, at least I can but nothing happens.


Not sure what you mean by the rest. I can't see "preferences" anywhere.


There's a "view" option, but this doesn't bring up anything relating to the scroll bars. Nor does anything else that I can see on any of the menus.

Thanks.


It's nothing to do with the position of the mouse, that doesn't change anything.


The maximise/restore suggestion doesn't bring back the scroll bar.


I will try the "repair Office" option.


ETA: That hasn't worked either

Right clicking brings up restore (greyed out), move, minimise, maximise or close .....

Word looks different to usual when I have a document open. Could it have somehow updated??


I have just discovered that if I have an accessibility window open (which I've never seen before) a vertical scroll bar comes up to the left of it with which I can scroll up and down the document.


This makes no sense to me whatsoever ......

Don't think so but I will check! I would have no reason to be in web layout, in fact I've never heard of it!

Not read the whole thread so may of missed this if already posted...


Why does my vertical scroll bar disappear?


Using your browser's magnification or zoom controls may cause scroll bars to disappear.

Observe this phenomenon by opening a Web page and pressing "Ctrl- " repeatedly.

Your actions cause the page's content to shrink in size.


So do you need to use "Ctrl- " repeatedly.

Sorry about that.. My Mistake but this may Help..

Foxy, if you read the thread you will see that what is shown in the video was the first thing I checked.


You will also see that I tried the control +/-.


Thank you for trying to help, but unfortunately this is not as simple as it looks, and obviously I had googled before posting on here.

    • Hi, not sure if anyone can help, I am having trouble with my car, a mechanical issue specific to this Peugeot model I have. I am looking to see if anyone knows of a garage nearby that has Peugeot knowledge and can help ( I also need to get the car towed there) I have tried stellantis in Croydon and Wimbledon, who are bloody difficult to get hold of for a start (took me a week to get some sort of reply) they can’t  book me in for over four  weeks, want £200 just to have a look at it first, and it’s a fare way for me to pay to have it towed Considering this is where I got the car from I,d thought they would be more helpful, but hey. just thought I would see if anyone had any recommendations on here for someone nearer.
    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
