Default scrolling in table

"lydia" wrote:
i have an extremely large table which is formatted in 6
point arial, legal landscape. i'm doing revisions and
have blown it up to 150% to be able to read it on the
screen. however, this means that scrolling from the end
of cell to the one below moves the cursor the first cell
in the row, necessitating a lot of scrolling. at 150
percent, of course, the column does not fit on the screen
(small monitor, can't be fixed). any suggestions? tia.



Hi Lydia,

Maybe you can talk your boss into buying some wheel mice with tilt wheels?
Tilting the wheel left/right scrolls left/right, which might help a bit to
keep your sanity.

You might also try some tricks like coloring the text in the different
columns in different colors, so you can orient yourself quicker.
Some keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Shift+Down, Alt+Shift+Up to select the
current row (if you can't click to the left of the row because it's not on
the screen) might also help.

Regards,
Klaus
