Well I am baffled & I have exhausted many avenues trying to find a way to retrieve panning hand that I was using in Excel 2010. I have always used panning hand in all excel sheets to maneuver with in doc to get where I need to go with ease. Since the horizontal
scroll bar is not on its own line; it has become very small due to all the tabs in my excel spreadsheets. Using compatibility mode since the day I installed MS Ofc Pro Plus 2010, I assume that's why I have been able to use hand. Now that I am slowly updating
excel files & saving as xlsx
I have come to find through Internet Explorer 7 &/or 8 in conjunction with Excel 95--97 &/or 2003 - 2007 are the only ways I can get my panning hand back. Since I have migrated from IE 8, XP Pro x32, Ofc 2007 to IE 9, Win 7 x64 Home Ed, Ofc Pro Plus 2010. The
compatibility mode was working fine even with panning hand and was automatic when I hovered over a spread sheet with either extension with all the Excel spreadsheets from 95-97, 2003-2007 and 2010.
Now for some mysterious its gone...maybe because I added some custom ribbon features or because I switched compatibility mode off...not sure. Now instead of reverting back to IE 8 & saving all excel as xls.
I need assistance in adding grab & move function to my MS Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000. I know it can be done but I am not sure how to proceed or if the combinations in the mouse settings are available. Mouse instructions do say any function can be added.
If anyone has a clue about adding functions to a mouse; please advise.
P.S. I am hoping some gamer out there may know. It seems some gaming functions are definitely a similar to the function panning hand.

Normally this option comes in tablets\touch screen PCs, if you have touch pad devices or anything related to these.
