Excel 2008 unwanted scrolling

[JVP]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

When I quickly scroll down a list, if my fingers aren't just perfect on the touchpad, the screen jumps to the side and I lose my place. How can I make the screen stay on the columns I have in view, and use a scroll bar to go to the side?

System Preferences/Trackpad, uncheck the "Allow horizontal scrolling"
checkbox.
