Macbook Pro trackpad doesn't work on word

My macbook pro mouse trackpad isn't working while I'm on microsoft word. It works on other application like safari but refuses to work on word. It still clicks and i can use the sidebar to move up and down pages but i am unable to slide down the page using two fingers.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Hello jwilliams112,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand that your trackpad is not functioning as you would expect only while using Microsoft Word on your MacBook Pro. In this situation, I would suggest reading over and working through the If the issue occurs in one application only section in the attached article for troubleshooting information.

Have a great day,
