How do I cut and paste large sections of verbiage in Word?

[BarbO]

When I try to cut and paste a large section of verbiage in a Word document,
say, several pages in size, the cursor runs all the way to the end of the
document. If I try to take the cursor back, it quickly flies past all the
way to the beginning of the document. This is maddening! I never had this
type of trouble with Wordperfect. Can someone help?

The problem of runaway scrolling is corrected in Word 2002 and above. For
earlier versions, click at one end of the desired selection, use the
elevator on the vertical scroll bar to bring the other end in view, and
Shift+click there.
