Yes, it's a Windows thing -- or, more properly, a feature of certain mouse
drivers.

Hey -- it works in Google Groups too! Is that a Windows thing rather

If you have a mouse with a clickable wheel in the middle, click it
on the Word document. The cursor changes to a pair of arrowheads
with a dot in the middle. Drag the mouse downward very slightly, and
the document will start to scroll. The farther down you drag, the
faster the scrolling becomes -- and anything more than the least
possible speed will be too fast to read. Dragging the mouse cursor
upward from its starting point scrolls toward the top.
Click the wheel again or press Esc to stop the scrolling mode.

I think you can get documents to automatically scroll through when
you are using compare - but can you get it to do it for just one
document? It would be very useful for proof reading (e.g., you can
do it on Acrobat)-
