Selecting Text - how do you slow down selection using the mouse?
When selecting text using the mouse in Word, the scrolling speed is too fast
so when you drag the mouse down, it scrolls very quickly to the end of the document and selects the whole lot. How do you change the selection speed so you can select only the text you need? |

Selecting Text - how do you slow down selection using the mouse?
You can't slow down the mouse-driven scrolling. Word 2003 is supposed
to have made this more controllable, but it's still unreliable as far as I can see. Put the cursor at the beginning of the text you want to select. Use the vertical scroll bar or the mouse wheel to bring the other end into view, and hold Shift while you click. Or else hold Shift while you use the arrow keys or Page Up/Down keys. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
