Double Click Mouse Wheel Button Different

I have the mouse wheel button assigned to double click. This works well on
all computers and software except Office 2003.

When I have the File Open dialog box up, I select a file, and press down on
the wheel button. Anywhere else it would be like double clicking and make the
file would open.

Nothing happens in the Office dlg boxes. (So I end up sitting there. Staring.)

Can I change the behaviour to be like other apps?

Thank you.

You're not alone in this - I also have this problem in Office file dialogs.
Sometimes it works right, mostly not. Other double-click actions in Office
seem to work fine from the wheel button.

I don't recall any solution ever being offered.

One possibility might be to adjust the sensitivity to a faster
or slower double click. It's a bit indirect since you are not
actually adjusting mouse's double click speed but setting
windows to detect it.

Hmm, that might help, except the Logitech Mouseware driver doesn't have a
double-click speed setting!

Talk about a catch 22. You can set the speed in basic Windows mouse driver,
but you can't set wheel button to double-click. Use the mouse's good
driver, loose the double-click sensitivity control.

Why can't MS just make their basic driver recognize that the wheels are
almost always a button as well, been that way for a dozen years now!

I'm running MSFT's Intellipoint software and it does have a speed
setting which does NOT solve the problem even if set maximum slow.

"Good driver?" I'm using Intellipoint with a compatible mouse because
I can't use my Logitech mouse in Vista 64, Setpoint conflicts with
other software. Logitech promised a fix but it hasn't happened yet...

Irrational fear of third buttons? Why will the third button work in
Intellipoint but not with the included drivers in Vista or XP, figure
that one out!?!?!?!
