Default How can I auto scroll while I type?

All I can tell you is that this is not a Word issue, as the exact same
version of Word will behave differently on different systems.

Suzanne, it is exactly an issue of where the text is, NOT visibility. I
want
to know how to make Word auto scroll as I type, so that I never have to
type
at the bottom of the screen. And I did specifically mention that using a
macro was also a waste of time - yes, I have already tried it, and it's no
faster than grabbing the mouse and manually scrolling - either way adds up
to
frustration and time waste when you type steadily for 8 to 12 hours a day.

that
are only half visible at the bottom of the screen, so I saved to my Inbox
the macro Greg Maxey provided the other day for scrolling up just a
little.
I haven't gotten around to installing it yet, but I think it probably
would
be very useful for people who do a lot of typing/data entry under these
conditions.

You could put your monitor on a higher support ...

a
waste of time when you type all day, every day. Thanks!
