Is there anything I can do to make it easier to scroll within large
documents?


Just a note to add to RMF's post - have you tried navigating via the
Document Map function?


The document is 1077 pages of pure text. There are no separations
between the "chapters" other than the text "Chapter 1: Foo", "Chapter
2: Bar", etc. Therefore, there is no Document Map.

If I go to the effort of formatting the document properly, I assume
that I will have a proper DocumentMap by the end of the process but
that doesn't help me now.

Or am I misunderstanding your point?


I appreciate that we all have our own ways of working; however, it is
normally considered prudent to _start_ with a properly structured
hierarchical outline. It pays dividends in many areas and, almost as an
unlooked-for bonus, it means that you can use the Document Map and Outline
view.
