I have a document with multi-pages. I'm trying to select a section to copy, but using the mouse it scrolls too fast to highlight the section. How can I control the speed of it scrolling??

I know I can use the keyboard by using the Shift and arrow down, but would like to use the mouse.

If you don't "drag" as far from you original click, it will scroll more slowly. Or the other keyboard opition is to click where you want to start your selection then scroll down, usinsg the scroll bars or the mouse wheel (if so equiped) then press the shift key and click where you want to end your selection.

Mike's tip is a great one that we teach folks in our classes all the time. They are amazed at some of these hints. Don't forget that you can triple click in a paragraph to select the entire paragraph. **Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.**
 
lexus, Anything you say sounds profound, it doesn't have to be in Latin.
