Thank you Ronni, Peter and Lloyd. I found that using an Apple Bluetooth mouse meant I could scroll with or without the scroll bar, and after Ronni's tip found I could scroll using two fingers on the trackpad on my June 2007 model 17" MacBook Pro.
What has unsettled my faith in the stability of Outlook v. 14.1.2 is the fact that initially I had been able to scroll using the scroll bar without using two fingers on the track pad or the bluetooth mouse, and then without having changed any preferences, suddenly sometimes I could and sometimes I couldn't when using Outlook. In the hope that there'll be consistency I have done as Peter suggested and selected "Always" in System Preferences > General > Show scroll bars.

Outlook (2011) is a poor imitation of Entourage, but Entourage is not offered in the 2011 Office Suite. I would happily move to Mail, if there were a reasonable way of transferring my Entourage or Outlook files across.
