Have you installed the Intellipoint drivers? As Luc has said, one of its
features is that clicking the scroll wheel (that is pressing it down like a
button) whilst the pointer is around the centre of the page, will cause the
pointer to change two opposing arrows with a Dot between them. If you now
move the pointer up or down, only the up arrow displays and the page will
start to autoscroll UP. The further you move the pointer, the faster the
screen will scroll. Vice versa for down.

Further more, this is also a feature that has been hidden in many versions
of Word. If you go to Keyboard Shortcuts and select All Commands, scroll
down the list and you will find the AutoScroll command. That works in
exactly the same way. My guess is that somehow, the AutoScroll command is
being triggered by your 'discovery'. In the mouse setup, you should be able
to assign the AutoScroll feature to its wheel click and there should be a
slider to adjust its speed.

First let me apologize for posting twice, but I am having internet issues

Okay, I am using a Microsoft Windows Optical Mouse 2000

I accidentally discovered this reading feature, which I use often

It doesn't work for me either, which is why I'd like to know what mouse
you
are using?

I realize I hold down the left button of my Microsoft mouse

What I like to do is collect reading material from my RSS feeds and
save
them in a Word 2007 doc for later reading

I increase the font to 72 so I can sit in my easy chair and read the
scrolling document, which I get by holding down the left button of my
mouse a
few moments on the Vertical Scroll Bar on the left of my document

I accidentally discovered this Word feature and thoroughly enjoy it as
well
as find it helpful to reading

Apparently, it is an undocumented feature of Word

zyzzyva,
Hmm, right click does not work for me here. But I always use the
scrollwheel, click the scrollwheel, you a double arrow now move the
mouse
upwards or downwards and the document starts to scroll, it scrolls
faster
when you move away from the double arrow, slower when you move towards
it.
In any case once it starts moving you can release the mouse.

I use Word 2007

A neat feature I use to read documents is Scrolling: right click and
hold
down the extreme right down arrow until it starts scrolling and the
Word
Doc
scrolls WITHOUT me holding down the right mouse button

Is there a way to adjust the speed of this Scroll?
