Don't know if that is a possible feature in MS Word. I'm typing a document and it doesn't scroll. Next thing I know I'm looking down at the bottom of my monitor then using the mouse to move it up.
Wonder if there is a feature and if anyone know how to do it so that document will scroll up as I'm typing so I will always be looking directly in front of me.
The best I came up with was a macro that adds 25 returns and then erases them so that it pushes the text up higher. It could be any number of returns you want; x25 just works best for me at my screen resolution in EditScript because of the header, but x30 would actually be better for me in plain Word. I used just one key command for it (F5, in my case, since I don't really use whatever the default Word function for that is), but you could assign it to anything you want. You don't say what version of Word you're in, but if you don't know how to install a macro, give a holler, and I'll try to help. Or record one as I said: Return x?, highlight them all, delete, and voila ... when you use it, you "push" your last text up by that amount/to the top of the page (when recording, you could start with a "test" word already down at the bottom of a document in Word so you can see what you're doing better, but don't highlight that word and delete it when you're at that step).
