Go to Word>Preferences, click on View, and make sure the checkbox next to
"Vertical scroll bar" is ticked.

Ah! A Windows user!
If you ever think of restarting your computer to fix something, you are
admitting that the tool you use is broken.

Why oh why is a restart considered to be a 'fix'? It is a desperate
last minute cargo cult action. A triumph of voodoo over reason.

(I'm having a curmudgeonly rant. Pay no attention)
