Hmmm. On my Windows XP Pro tower system with OOo 2.3 auto-scroll works
just like with any other program; press the mouse wheel to bring up the
symbol of the "2-way icon"* and then move the cursor down a bit.
Auto-scrolling starts. The further the cursor is below the 2-way icon
the faster the scroll. Substitute "up" and "above" for "down" and
"below" to auto-scroll in the opposite direction. Click the left mouse
button to stop the scroll; move the cursor up/down to change the speed
of the scroll.
I can't achieve this effect on my laptop because the touch pad doesn't
support it [or I haven't found out how :-( ]
* I don't know what the "2-way icon" is called officially. What I mean
is a circle with a dot in the middle; above the dot is an
upward-pointing arrowhead and below it is a downward-pointing arrowhead.
What happens when you press the mouse wheel?

I'm not sure what you mean; the obvious answer is "just like you
scroll in any other program". Scroll bars become visible as
appropriate; mouse scroll wheels and "drag" motions on notebook touch
pads work ...
I feel I'm missing the point of your question. Please clarify so we
can help you.
