If you want to scroll a page or document without having to use the scroll bar or keyboard, get a mouse with a middle scroll wheel that can be used as a button. A mouse with a scroll wheel allows you to scroll up or down a page by moving the wheel up or down. However, the mouse will also have a feature that allows for automatic scrolling depending on the program you're using.
To use auto scrolling click using the scroll wheel by pushing in on the wheel in a blank or empty portion of the screen. Once clicked one of the three scrolling cursor icons (shown to the right) will be shown depending on the program you're using. If the program does not display a cursor icon, it does not support any type of continuous scroll.
Move the mouse in the direction you want to scroll. The speed of the automatic scrolling can be adjusted based on the distance from the scrolling icon you move the mouse cursor. The farther away you move the cursor, the faster the scrolling.
The automatic scrolling can be very useful for reading a large document or scrolling through a large amount of data, in the case of a spreadsheet. Setting a slow scroll speed can allow for hands-free, effortless reading or data browsing.
