Thanks. That works too. I didn't know about it.

When I select text (in OOo writer 1.1.4, Linux and Windoze 98se)

correct this by backing up, the same thing happens in the opposite
direction and often goes past the starting point. This is vey
frustrating and disorienting.
Is there a way to control the speed of this process, - to slow it
down? This may be OS dependent, because I think the same thing
happens in other programs.
I know I can use shift-uparrow or shift-downarrow instead of the
mouse. That's easier to control - although the text window does
scroll in blocks instead of line by line and that is a bit
unsettling, but I would still prefer to have it work better with the
mouse.
Thanks.

What about shift + Page Up or shift + Page Down? This can be used
in conjuction with shift + up arrow or down arrow.
