Hi Paul,

I don't think it's a Word problem. I have Word 2003 and a wheel mouse, using
the generic Windows 2000 mouse driver, and scrolling works perfectly. You
might try reinstalling the mouse driver, or updating it (at
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo.../Download.mspx).

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
