Scroll speed while selecting text
 

If I need to select a fair chunk of text in Word97, I click at the beginning then hold the mouse down and scroll down to the end of the selection. Except that once I get off the bottom of the page the scroll speed is so quick (a couple of pages a second) it all just zooms past in a blur and I have no hope of telling where I am. Can anybody help here? I know there are other ways of doing it but I find this the most flexible generally and it's annoying that I can't use it.

it would be much easier to use all keyboard strokes. Try ctrl+shift+pg down.

Selecting text
 

Hi,
Click at the start of the text you want to select.
Scroll to the end of the section.
Hold down the Shift key and click at the end of the selection and Robert is not your fathers sister!!!
Also to select just a line, move the cursor over to the left side till it becomes your pointer again then double-click and the line is selected.
And, of course, Ctrl + A selects All the doc.
