Scrolling

Global Navigation: Scrolling

Scroll    Up/Down    1-100    [This and the following five macros allow you to scroll by line. The macros that don't indicate a direction default to "Down." Note: you cannot stop scrolling part way through these scroll macros. The "Change Scroll Speed" macro below allows you to change the scroll speed of this macro.]
Scroll    1-100    [This is a shorter version of the above "Scroll Down 1-100" macro.]
Scroll    Up/Down    1-100    Fast/Medium/Slow/Very Fast/Very Slow
Scroll    1-100    Fast/Medium/Slow/Very Fast/Very Slow    [This is a shorter version of the "Down" version of the above macro.]
Scroll    Up/Down    1-100    by    1-20    [This is a more fine-grained alternate to the above macro, with "1" the fastest and "20" the slowest scroll.]
Scroll    1-100    by    1-20    [This is a shorter version of the "Down" version of the above macro.]

Scroll    Up/Down    1-10    Page(s)    [This and the next five macros allow you to scroll "x" number of pages, one line at a time.]
Scroll    1-10    Page(s)
Scroll    Up/Down    1-10    Page(s)    Fast/Medium/Slow/Very Fast/Very Slow
Scroll    1-10    Page(s)    Fast/Medium/Slow/Very Fast/Very Slow
Scroll    Up/Down    1-10    Page(s)    by    1-20    [This is a more fine-grained alternate to the above macro, with "1" the fastest and "20" the slowest scroll.]
Scroll    Up/Down    1-10    Page(s)    by    1-20

Page Scroll    Up/Down 1-20    [This and the next five macros allow you to scroll "x" number of pages, one page at a time. For example, if you say "Page Scroll 6," your document will Page Down, wait four seconds, Page Down again etc. The following macro allows you to change the four seconds to any length you want.]
Page Scroll    1-20
Page Scroll    Up/Down 1-20    Fast/Medium/Slow/Very Fast/Very Slow
Page Scroll    1-20    Fast/Medium/Slow/Very Fast/Very Slow
Page Scroll    Up/Down 1-20    by    1-20
Page Scroll    1-20    by    1-20

*Change    Scroll/Scroll Page/Page Scroll    Speed    [This macro goes into the "Scroll 1-100," "Scroll 1-100 Pages" or "Page Scroll 1-20" macros to change their execution speeds. Note that single digits equal milliseconds for the Wait macro command. Therefore, four seconds equals 4000. The Scroll Up/Down speed default is 100 milliseconds. The Page Scroll speed default is 4000 milliseconds. Note: This is a fragile macro that will occasionally misfire on a slow computer, or a day when your computer is running slower than usual, so make sure it has executed correctly before you modify it. If it has executed correctly, you will see the word "Wait" followed by highlighted number. Change this number to change the wait state, then say "Please Finish." See the section on fixing macros at the end of this document for more information on Fragile macros.]
*Change    Scroll/Scroll Page/Page Scroll    Up/Down    Speed    [This does the same as the above macro, but for the "Scroll Up/Down 1-100," "Scroll Up/Down 1-100 pages," and "Page Scroll Up/Down 1-20" macros. Changing the speed of either the up or down version of the macro changes in speed in both directions. For example, "Scroll Page Up Speed," will change the speed of the "Scroll Up/Down 1-100 Pages" macro.]
