I just checked and it is the draft mode in which you get the scroll problem.
Go into a long doc somewhere near the middle, then press the Pg Up key and
soon the doc gets stuck and won't scroll.
Bottom line seems to be that print view is the way to go. Why is draft view
even there, one wonders.
This still leaves the perplexing problem taht date autocomlete doesn't work
in print view but works in draft view.

I like the print view, and I know about closing the top and bottom margins
by clicking.
The reason I want to use the draft mode is mainly because the date auto
complete feature works in this mode but not in the print view.
Also there's that sporadic scrolling problem that I have---I said before I
get it in draft view, but I tihnk actually I get it in print view.
I'm dialing down my graphics card's Direct Draw functions to see if that
fixes the screen junk.

It sounds like a graphics card issue. Did you try updating your display
driver?
Even though this might not be what you are looking for, but I used to prefer
Draft (or Normal) view because of the page margins. If that's the reason
then perhaps removing the view of white space will work for you. To hide or
show white space, place your mouse pointer either under the ruler or between
two pages, watch for the mouse pointer to change, and then double-click when
prompted. That's what I use now and I've never looked back to Draft/Normal
view since in many cases it doesn't display the document as it will look
when printed anyway.
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

I would prefer using the draft view to the print view, but after awhile
draft
view starts leaving bad lines on the screen and showing false images o f
text.
Another problem with Word 2007 draft View is that at some point in the
session, the page up scrolling feature stops working, that is, the
document
gets "stuck" at the top of a page and I can't scroll to an earlier spot
with
Pg Up or with the scroll wheel on the mouse, and instead I have to click
into
the text and scroll up with the arrow key.
