Highlighting In A Doc
A couple of questions -------
1. When I highlight something in a doc and try to extend the highlight down past the bottom of the screen, the doc goes flying by to the bottom of the doc. How can I control the speed of highlighting a portion of the doc below the bottom of the screen? 2. Is there a way to highlight one line, scroll down the doc and click on a line to have everything between the highlighted line and the click point become highlighted? 3. Is there a way to highlight non-contiguous parts of a doc? ie, highlight some lines, do something, scroll down and highlight some more lines and leave the lines in-between unhighlighted. Thanks!

Hi Steve,
The answer to #2 is also the best answer to #1: Click at the beginning of the selection, use the scroll bar (or the mouse wheel if you have one) to bring the end into view, and hold the Shift key while you click there. The speed-scrolling has been brought under control (finally!) in Word 2002/2003. To make a non-contiguous selection -- again, only in 2002/2003 -- hold the Ctrl key while you add pieces after the first. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Tue, 11 Jan 2005 01:42:38 GMT, "Steve" wrote: A couple of questions ------- 1.

1. Hold down the Shift key and use the Page Down or Down Arrow keys.

....
click there. The speed-scrolling has been brought under control (finally!) in Word 2002/2003. .... Umm, nope, not in 2k2, anyway. I have every fix/SP applied and it still = does it. If there's a control for it anywhere, and I don't think there = is, I've never come across it. Maybe on slower machines, but it's not = controlled on mine, a 2.6 GHz. =20 Pop |
