Default Cursor jumps when scrolling

I'm using MSW 2002 with SP3 on a Dell desktop tower.
I'm in a 55 page document that has a 3 x 66 table at the bottom.
The table has numbers I want the entries ordered by in the first col, SEQ
numbers from a single series in the second col -- each SEQ number is
bookmarked and then cross referenced in the document above, the third col is
a text description of that document. The document above the table has about
100-150 cross references to the bookmarked SEQ numbers.

The document has thtree sections: A 10 page first section, a 41 page second
section with separate page numbering, and a 3 page section with the table.

When I'm in the table and scroll upwards using either the mouse or the
control arrows, the cursor jumps from page 53-55 where I am to home. If I
control scrolling with the side-bar, I get a similar radical tranition, but I
can keep it within the table if I'm careful.

What could cause the (very disruptive) cursor jump?

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

Larry

One place to look is the vertical scroll bar on the right hand side. Look at
the bottom of the scroll bar and you should see 4 symbols. Three of them are
forms of arrows either single or double and the 4th symbol is like a dot (at
least it is on my setup). Click on that symbol and select browse by page and
test to see if that is the cause of your trouble.

Ron,

Yes -- clicking cancel there cured it.
Now I have to learn what that feature is!

Thank you.

Very Respectfully,
Larry
