Use the wheel button in the middle of the mouse to scroll or select items on the screen. You can use the scrolling mouse in these ways:
Scroll through a document without having to click the scroll bar on the screen.
Use the autoscroll feature to have the document scroll automatically.
Skim through a document.
The Scroll Feature
Click the left mouse button to place the cursor in the document. To scroll toward the beginning of a document, roll the mouse wheel up (away from you). To scroll toward the end of a document, roll the wheel down (toward you).
The Autoscroll Feature
The autoscroll feature allows you to read through a document while the document scrolls automatically.
1To use autoscroll, place the cursor next to the text where you want to begin scrolling and press the wheel button once. An autoscroll icon appears.
2To begin scrolling, move the mouse in the direction you want to scroll. The farther you move the pointer from the starting point, the faster the document scrolls.
3To stop autoscroll, press the wheel button again.
