Excel and Word scroll tooooo fast
When I'm copying/pasting something, or dragging something down the page, the damn thing scrolls way to fast so that in Excel if I'm on A1 and want to get to A100, when I drag down it goes to like A900 or A1000 within a split second.
Yes you can move the mouse more slowly, but this is getting silly. Is there a way to slow down the scroll?
Perhaps a windows setting somewhere, but I dont want to slow the speed of my cursor.

Well in British pounds it was about £27 which was $44!
But then I wanted the original ergo MS mouse, I dont like the other cheapie crap for £15, or the Logitech ones that were designed for 2 year olds!

I don't have a wheel mouse but, can't you depress the wheel and scroll down hands free at any speed . I've also been told you can adjust many of the settings of the mouse.
I must get myself one some day.

I find that even depressing the wheel the scrolling is just as worse if not the same as scrolling down with a copy/paste function.
Personally I think the wheel mouse is the best invention in years. It's especially useful when surfing the web as there is endless scrolling involved, more than Excel or Word.
My advice would be to go out and get one, it really does make the world of difference. Even the cheapie £15 scroll mouse will do, it's just that sometimes the damn thing doesn't move unless you clean the ball and bearings every few weeks. Plus I hate the shape of them
inthe, I dont think you paid over the moon for your Logitech. Office World are pretty good for prices, I go there fairly often but not for computer equipment.

I have to agree, I broke down and spent the $40 on a wheel mouse and will never look back. Now, every time I use a 'normal' mouse my finger keeps looking for the wheel and I realize how handy the thing is.
Try setting the wheel to move one page at a time.

The scrolling does actually have TWO speeds.
If you drag the mouse so that it is only just off the side of the spreadsheet, you will find that the scroll speed is much more manageable. Experiment and you will find it works...

I took your advise and bought a wheel mouse ($45.00 Aussie dollars) and you're right they're real handy.
Since i've had it i've been playing about a bit and found that to copy & paste and scroll the best way seems to be to copy then hold down the "Shift" key ,depress the wheel to lock it then scroll down to the required line,unlock the wheel and click on the line with the shift key still depressed to highlight the range.This seems to give much better control on the speed you scroll at.

I'll give it a go nonetheless, but I dont want it to slow down my applications or games, just the scrolling screen.
Cheers
PS I also didn't buy a rip off $40 Microsoft wheel mouse only to use the shift and arrow button!! ;)
