Default change speed of scroll bar

(You could buy a new mouse for maybe US$15.)

When you click in the vertical bar above or below the scroll box, it takes
you up or down a screen at a time.

Hi - I have a 300pp document into which I wish to type some copy edits,
about one every 3-4 pages. This means I have to skip quite a few pages.
If I press the arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar to move through the
pages that don't have edits, it takes forever. If I click, hold and move
the button that goes up and down on the scroll bar, it moves
frighteningly fast. My mouse has lost the capacity to scroll with its
wheel (don't ask ...), so the scroll bar is my only option. Is there a
way to adjust its speed?

Thanks!
