Scrolling documents

You can use scroll bars or the Hand tool to move to areas of a document that aren’t displayed in the

document window.

Using scroll bars

Document scroll bars represent the full document area. The position of the scroll box within a scroll

bar indicates the current view area.

To scroll using scroll bars:

Do one of the following:

Click one of the arrows to move in the arrow direction.

Drag the scroll box toward the part of the document you want to see. For example, drag

up to see more of the top.

Click the scroll bar to scroll one screen length toward the side of the scroll box that you

clicked. For example, click to the right of the scroll box to move one screen to the right.

Using the Hand tool

Using the Hand tool to scroll a document is like sliding a piece of paper on a desktop.

To temporarily switch to the Hand tool while using another tool, press the Spacebar and

drag with the Hand pointer.

To scroll with the Hand tool:

Select the Hand tool. The pointer becomes a hand.

2. Drag to make the document follow the pointer. e.g. To move a document up so you can see

the bottom, drag toward the top of the screen.
