I found your Web site online and hoped beyond hope you could answer a few questions for me regarding a major problem I am having with Outlook and Word within the Office 2007 program.
The biggest and most annoying feature I cannot manage to stop is to force each of these two programs to remain with the cursor as I type instead of taking it upon itself to move the screen back to the top of the page without my doing so.
Is there any possible way to force these two programs to remain with the cursor as I am writing so I do not have to continue to stop, move the mouse to scroll back to where I am writing, then start writing again only to have it move again back to the top of the page, which requires me to stop once again to move the page back down to where I am typing using the mouse again.
I am a freelance writer and the constant stop and go of taking the mouse to put the program screen back where I am typing is driving me up the freaking wall not to mention cutting into a large chunk of my writing time and when it comes to writing in the freelance market, time is literally money. I have already had to stop something like four times to move the damned window back to where I am typing so I can actually see what I am typing instead of the top of this email. It is equally as bad in Word 2007. What is it with MS, did they think we didn’t need to see the screen? I mean I can understand the concept of not needing to see the keys as we type but it does not mean we do not need to see the freaking screen as we type to make sure all is well and nothing needs changing.
I would appreciate any assistance to stop this ridiculous and annoying behavior.
Warmest regards,
Samantha Thomas aka Paisley Place
