Post subject: How can I move the vertical scroll bar to the left side? (Word 20 Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>docmanagement (more info?)
I am left handed and using a tablet PC. When I view a document in MS Word, I
would like the vertical scroll bar to appear on the left hand side where I
can access it more easily with my left hand. Can that be done? Thanks.

Hi R.,
If in Word 2003:
Tools=>Options=>View
[ ] Left Scroll Bar
If in Word 2007
Office Button=>Word Options=>Advanced=>Display
[ ] Left Scroll Bar

"Left scroll bar" is not available in the View Options in my version of Word
2003. I suspect this may be one of those options that become available if
you have a right-to-left language enabled.

Thanks to you both. I checked and my version of Word 2007 didn't have that
option either but when I installed support for right-to-left languages, the
option appeared where Bob described and worked perfectly.

Hi Suzanne,
Ahh, correct. And it doesn't hold if you later remove the Right to Left (RTL) language choice using the Office Language Settings
tool.
