The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARY
Microsoft Word 2000 includes a command to automatically scroll while you
read your document. This article describes the AutoScroll command and how
to add the command in Word.
MORE INFORMATION
The AutoScroll command automatically scrolls your document either down or
up at a slow speed while you read or review your document. When you first
start the AutoScroll command, Word starts scrolling down your document at a
very slow pace.
To control the speed and direction that Word scrolls through your document,
move your mouse. In the vertical scroll bar of your document window, large
arrow heads indicate the direction of scrolling. The farther away from
the center of the vertical scroll bar these arrows are moved, the faster
your document scrolls.
To stop the automatic scrolling of your document, either click once with
your mouse, or press the ESC key on your keyboard.
NOTE: Automatic scrolling of your document cannot be used when you are
editing, typing, or selecting text. If you attempt to make changes in the
document, the AutoScroll command is stopped. If you switch away from your
active document (for example, use ALT+TAB keys to switch to another
application), the AutoScroll command is stopped.
To Add the AutoScroll Command
- Start Word and a new, blank document. If you want this command to be
available for certain documents, open the template for those documents.
- On the Tools menu, click Customize.
- On the Commands tab, under Categories, select All Commands.
- Under Commands, select AutoScroll, and then drag the AutoScroll command
to a menu or toolbar.
Note: Make sure that the template you want to store this change in is
selected in the Save In box. If it is not listed, click the down arrow
of the Save In box, and then select the template you want to save this
change in. If the template you want is not listed in the drop-down list,
click Cancel to close the Customize dialog box, open your template,
and then repeat these steps.

- Click Close to close the Customize dialog box.
- Close your active documents or templates. If you are prompted to save
the changes, be sure to answer Yes. If you answer No, the addition of
the AutoScroll command to your menu or toolbar will be lost. When you
quit Word, if you are prompted to save your global template, be sure to
answer Yes.
