How can I slow down the rate/velocity of the autoscroll in Word?

[Guest]

In Word 2003 the autoscroll goes from fast to very fast without a comfortable
rate for reading. There is a reasonable continuum of speeds in other
software, i.e. IE. Is there a way to adjust the autoscroll rate that will
slow it down in MS Word, either through a Word or Windows setting change?

Additional tip while autoscrolling

A solution to the main question of slowing down the autoscroll speed will be warmly welcomed. To those burdened with reading/browsing many large documents, I will present a tip to significantly enhance your reading capacity. You need to make Word adjust line break to window width by selecting this option in Tools|Alternatives|View. Then switch to Normal view, press Ctrl button and apply mousewheel to magnify text at will. Autoscroll enables you to sit back and read the text at a very comfortable reading distance - provided we find a way to slow down the scrolling speed.
