Normally when you move through a Word document using the scroll bar the page doesn't update until you release the mouse button. With this tweak the document location is updated as you move.

Open your registry and find the key below where [Office Version] is either 8.0, 9.0 or 10.0.

For Word 97 and 2000 create a new string value, or modify the existing value, named 'LiveScrolling' and set it to equal '1' for live scrolling enabled or '0' for disabled.

For Word 2002 create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, named 'NoLiveScrolling' and set it to equal '0' for live scrolling enabled or '1' for disabled.

Close the registry and restart Word.

		(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
		LiveScrolling	REG_SZ	1
		NoLiveScrolling	REG_DWORD	0x00000000 (0)

	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[Office Version]\Word\Options
