Default Document scrolling in Word 2007

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)

Default Document scrolling in Word 2007

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.

Default Document scrolling in Word 2007

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

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