Missing Scroll bar in Office Programs

No Scroll Bars in Word 2003

No Scroll Bars in Word 2003

I came across this problem in Word 2003. The scroll bars seem to have disappeared from the right and bottom of the screen.

After a bit of Googling I found the solution to the problem. In a blank document perform the following actions.

  1. Tools Menu -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor
  2. Double click on “This Document” on the left hand side of the screen.
  3. Enter the following code:
    Sub Scroll()
    Application.DisplayScrollBars = True
    End Sub
  4. Click Run -> Run Sub / User Form

Performing these actions should then show both the horizontal and vertical scroll bars in the program. This principle should extend to all Office programs. If you have any problems then please let me know in the comments.
