How can I auto scroll while I type? Kman 12/19/2008 4:42:01 AM How can I make Word autmatically scroll up as I type so that the line I am typing on always stays at the center of my screen, rather than having to type on the bottom of the screen (as the document page fills up)? Having to manually scroll the document every couple of minutes so that I can view what I am typing at the top or center of the screen, or even to use a macro, is a waste of time when you type all day, every day. Thanks!

Re: How can I auto scroll while I type? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12/19/2008 2:44:34 PM It's not so much an issue of where the text is as the visibility of the text. I am one of those who suffers from having to try to type in lines that are only half visible at the bottom of the screen, so I saved to my Inbox the macro Greg Maxey provided the other day for scrolling up just a little. I haven't gotten around to installing it yet, but I think it probably would be very useful for people who do a lot of typing/data entry under these conditions. -- Suzanne S.

Re: How can I auto scroll while I type? Kman 12/19/2008 11:38:00 PM Your advice is useless. The problem is not monitor placement. As I said, what I'm looking for is a way to have Word auto scroll as I type.

Re: How can I auto scroll while I type? Kman 12/19/2008 11:41:03 PM Suzanne, it is exactly an issue of where the text is, NOT visibility. I want to know how to make Word auto scroll as I type, so that I never have to type at the bottom of the screen. And I did specifically mention that using a macro was also a waste of time - yes, I have already tried it, and it's no faster than grabbing the mouse and manually scrolling - either way adds up to frustration and time waste when you type steadily for 8 to 12 hours a day.

Re: How can I auto scroll while I type? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12/20/2008 12:09:51 AM All I can tell you is that this is not a Word issue, as the exact same version of Word will behave differently on different systems. -- Suzanne S.
