scroll region
Trying to set up a "scrolling region" so that the cursor (arrow keys - CR,
etc) controls won't let the cursor scroll to less than 5 lines from the top or bottom of the screen. Gets inconvenient when making massive changes on a large document to have to keep moving up or down simply to see what goes before or comes after the current edit. Can someone help? |

Not _entirely_ sure whether this is your problem, but if I understand you correctly, working either in Normal view or suppressing display of Headers and Footers in PageLayout view might help?

scroll region
Thanks - Tried it. This still allows the cursor to scroll to the top or
bottom line of the screen putting some of the context of changes out of view. What I'm trying to do is the equivalent of SCROLL LOCK where the cursor stays relatively steady and the document scrolls past it. This used to work, but somewhere in the past several generations of improvements, it seems to have gone away. "Robert M.

Well, I've never heard of something like that in Word, but that doesn't mean it's not there or wasn't ever.
