AutoScroll Speed

[Richard O. Neville]

I used AutoScroll to read long documents, such as depositions. However, I am
unable to control the scrolling speed. In some documents, it scrolls slowly
enough to read, and I can slow it down more by moving the mouse. In others,
it is too fast to read and cannot be slowed down. Suggestions?

You can change the speed of your mouse and roller in your Control Panel.

That setting doesn't change the scroll speed.

Hi Carol,

That isn't really what Richard is asking about. The AutoScroll feature
is usually started by clicking the mouse wheel, if you have one that
acts like a button, or you can make a toolbar button by dragging the
AutoScroll command from the All Commands section of the Tools >
Customize dialog (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=197676).

Like Richard, I find that the minimum speed of AutoScroll is too fast
to read anything. As far as I know, there's no adjustment -- so I just
don't use it. Another nice idea poorly implemented. :-(

Thanks Jay. I'll try to put that in the old memory bank!
