Phil, THANK YOU! I followed your instructions and my annoying problem with the Microsoft Mouse is now gone. I can now use the horizontal scroll function again.
I checked the horizontal scroll function in LibreOffice Calc and Chrome browser. It worked in both cases, however I think the horizontal scroll is inverted - that is, when I tilt mouse wheel to the left, the screen scrolls to the right, and conversely, when I tilt mouse wheel to the right, the screen scrolls back to the left. I don't recall if it worked that way in Ubuntu 11.10. But that's a minor issue - at least now I have the ability to scroll horizontally!
