The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q177009

SYMPTOMS

The Visual Basic for Applications VerticalPercentScrolled property may not set the correct value. For example, the following sample code may display a value other than the value of 25 percent that has been set using the VerticalPercentScrolled property: 
    With ActiveWindow.ActivePane
      .VerticalPercentScrolled = 25
      MsgBox .VerticalPercentScrolled
   End With

To work around this problem, call the VerticalPercentScrolled property twice with the same percentage. For example: 
   With ActiveWindow.ActivePane
      .VerticalPercentScrolled = 25
      .VerticalPercentScrolled = 25
   End With

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
