Note The size of a scroll box indicates the proportional amount of the used area of the sheet that is visible in the window. The position of a scroll box indicates the relative location of the visible area within the worksheet.
Scroll and zoom with the mouse
You can move around and zoom on your worksheet or chart sheet by using the Microsoft IntelliMouse pointing device. For information about changing options and viewing troubleshooting tips for the Microsoft IntelliMouse, see the IntelliPoint Online User's Guide. (Click the Microsoft Windows Start button, point to Programs, and then point to Microsoft Input Devices.)
| To | Do this |
|---|---|
| Scroll up or down a few rows at a time | Rotate the wheel forward or back. |
| Pan through a worksheet | Hold down the wheel button, and drag the pointer away from the origin mark  in the direction you want to scroll. To speed up scrolling, drag away from the origin mark; to slow down scrolling, drag toward the origin mark. |
| Pan through a worksheet automatically | Click the wheel button, and then move the mouse in the direction you want to scroll. To speed up scrolling, drag away from the origin mark; to slow down scrolling, drag toward the origin mark. To stop automatic scrolling, click any mouse button. |
| Zoom in or out | Hold down CTRL, and then rotate the IntelliMouse wheel forward or back. |
| Show detail in outlines | Point to a cell that summarizes data in the outline, hold down SHIFT, and then roll the wheel forward. |
| Hide detail in outlines | Point to any cell that contains detail data, hold down SHIFT, and then roll the wheel back. |
If you use the Microsoft IntelliMouse pointing device to zoom more often than you use it to scroll on a sheet, you can set the wheel button to zoom instead of scroll. On the Tools menu, click Options, click the General tab, and then select the Zoom on roll with IntelliMouse check box.
