Panning

Panning enables you to scroll through a document by simply pressing and holding the wheel button while you move the device. It is identical to AutoScrolling, except you must press and hold the wheel button.

To pan

1. Within a program, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel, press and hold the wheel button—the default panning assignment—and observe the position of the origin mark that appears.
2. Move the pointer in the direction that you want to pan. The further you move the pointer away from the origin mark, the faster the document pans.

To quit panning

• Release the wheel button.

Tip

You can pan with any button by assigning AutoScroll to the button you want to use. See Assign a new feature to a button to reassign a button.
