Roller mouse behavior in a document

[Terry]

I have a document I inherited to work on. When I try to use the roller on my mouse to scroll through the document, it rolls in increments, and takes a long time to scroll down. I get impatient waiting for it, and if I change my mind, I can't do anything with the document until it is done scrolling. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop the scrolling aside from waiting.
This is different from how I have experienced using the mouse in other documents. Usually, the roller works instantaneously and is very responsive to how I use it.
I suspect I have a corrupt document? How can I tell? What can I do to stop this strange behaviour? (I have been using the PageUp and PageDown buttons instead of the mouse, but often I forget)

You may have a corrupt document. I would cut/paste
special/unformatted text into another window and reformat
it.

Another issue is why you are scrolling. If you're using
your mouse to select text, it would be faster to either
click at the beginning of the text and then Shift+click at
the end or use Shift plus your cursor arrows.
