scroll function speed

[carrera]

This is just an annoyance....

Normally, when I select a row and drag the cursor down to select more rows, it scrolls downwards (or upwards) at a normal speed that can be controlled

At times, when working in a file for awhile, when I perform the above action, the scroll takes off at warp 9 at it's impossible to control where to stop
Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

Hi Carrera,

Try holding the shift key while dragging the scroll bar, it will be
more consistent in speed.

Another way to get to a location is to type the cell address
into the name box at the left of the formula bar. You could
also type in a name of a range if you created a named range.

Probably won't help you much, but you can make some adjustments
for speed in the Control Panel for the mouse.

If you just want to get to the last used cell you can use Ctrl+End
and return to A1 with Ctrl+Home
