Scroll Speed

Is there a way to slow down the scroll speed in Word 2003?

I used to be able to press the middle mouse button to enter scroll mode, and
could move the mouse down or up to start scrolling. The farther I moved the
mouse, the faster the scrolling advanced. I was always able to adjust it so
I could scan the document as the text scrolled by - No longer. The text
always scrolls by faster than I can read (usually faster than I can even see
the text).

I've tried playing with the scroll as defined by the mouse software, but
that doesn't seem to effect the speed in Word. Is there a setting in Word
that can be adjusted or is this a lost cause until (and unless) Word gets
updated to address this.

Thanks,
Paul B
 
I'm using a logitech mouse/driver, but didn't have any problems with Word
XP. I've recently updated to Word 2003 which is when the problems started.
I'll see if Logitech has an updated driver, or since Microsoft has finally
updated their driver to enable customizing the buttons, maybe I'll put the
Microsoft wireless mouse back in service and see how that works.

Thanks for the response, hopefully I won't have to ask about this again.
