    Does anyone know how to make pages scroll up and down without having to use a mouse?  I know I can hit arrow keys or page up and down, but what if you just want to move a few lines?  Is there a fast way to do this that I don't know about?  Using arrows takes too many keystrokes and page up and down moves too far down the page.  I want to scroll as if I was using my roll bar on my mouse, only using the keyboard.  Hope this question makes sense!!

    Proper way to type height measurements
    Subject: Proper way to type height measurements

    What is the correct way to type height measurements.  For example, doctor says "5 foot 1 inch".  Normally when the number is pleural, it should be "feet", but the doctors always say "foot".  Also, is there a comma between the foot and inches.  Such as, "5 foot, 1 inch"?  TIA

    Subject: It sounds like you have a computer virus. I work out of Word 2003 and have never experienced

    that before.  Do you current up-to-date anti-virus programs on your computer?  You may want to check that out, or better yet, call a computer shop nearby and ask their advice.  Once I had over 70 viruses on my computer, and had to have the entire hard drive wiped out and everything put back in.  Once it gets that infected, you have to basically start over, and it would do really weird things like you are describing.
