Fast Scroll

[Guest]

After updating my Office 2000 to SP-3, the scroll speed has gone into
hyper-speed mode in Word 2000, and can't slow it down. How can I slow this
down like it was after updating to SP-1a? Operating system Windows XP-pro
SP-2. Microsoft wheel mouse optical.

Left click with the mouse at the beginning of the text that you want to
select, then use the scroll bar to move the end of the desired text into
view, then hold down the Shift key while left clicking with the mouse at
that location.

I use the scroll feature to read looooooong stories, not highlight text. I
used to be able to click the scroll wheel, and move the mouse down a little
and the screen would scroll down veeeeeery slowly. After installing ‘Service
Pak 3’, it just zoooooms by. Is there a setting in registry or something I
can chance to sloooooow things down again, or do I have to remove SP-3?

Does the AutoScroll command still work? It does what you are
describing.

Pre SP-3 (service pack 3) it scrolled by so I could read it.
After SP-3 it scrolls by at 100+ lines per second, after clicking
on the scroll wheel and moving it down a hair, much to fast to
read it.
