Auto scroll is accomplished by clicking the wheel inside the document and the
mouse changes to a double headed arrow with a ball in the center. By moving
the arrow downward, it begins to scroll through the document. Right now, the
speed is entirely too fast for the casual reader to be "proofing" a document.
I want to slow it down to a reading speed. Please help me, word perfect had
the perfect set up for this. I am sold on Word, but this feature is
imperative in a document presentation.

Can you tell the proofer to move the mouse closer to the "double headed
arrow"? IOW, it's a progressive thing, and scrolls faster the farther away
you move the mouse.

Karl: The speed in which the auto scroll maintains seems only to change
depending on which document I am in. I just scrolled through a letter
recieved on my inbox in outlook and it scrolled at an easy reading speed.
Word has it set too fast. I project a 137 page document on to a screen in
front of 400 people who read it, I just wanted to look professional as i
scrolled (something I was able to do in Word Perfect.) With no answer to
this I will be using the wheel, bouncing through the document.

I could well be wrong, but I'm not aware of any sort of control over that in
Office. (400 people? That's a little different from a lone proofer, eh?)
