I would like to control the AutoScroll speed in MS Word 2007.

When I press the mouse wheel with the pointer over the center of a Word document, the up and down arrows with a dot between them graphic appears as it should.

The smallest mouse move either way (up or down) causes the scroll speed to go much too fast. I want to control it.

I want to be able to set the AutoScroll speed to scroll more slowly so I can read the text.

This same AutoScroll function's speed is OK with web pages.

I am using a MS Optical USB Intellimouse, Office 2007, Word 2007, Windows 7 (x64), i7-920 CPU, Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard, a solid state drive and 6 GB of RAM...(yes, it's refreshingly fast)

TIA for your help

Lucky
