Do you have a mouse with a clickable wheel? Clicking this puts Word into scroll mode and you can move the mouse up or down to change direction and speed of the scroll.



Assuming this works, you put the document into Draft View and adjust the text size to show however much text you want per line.

This would never work due to two reasons:


it would scroll down entire page instead of piece of text only.


it would not give me needed parameters to be defined in advance ( ! ) such as length of line (quantity of words), screen size, font size, etc.

You obviously haven't tried it...

Scrolling with the mouse is by line, not page.

You can define whatever parameters you want in advance. Another approach would be to reduce the page size (e.g. A4>A5) and/or increase the margin widths and zoom level (e.g. to 150%), plus reduce the size of the Word window, all to facilitate reading from a smaller window to limit eye movement.

It seems to me you're more interested in naysaying than finding a solution.
