I was using Word in its Page View mode tonight and found two interesting
items (problems):

   1. Select a line of text by going to the left margin, until the cursor
      turns into a back-arrow, then drag the cursor off the top of the
      window--to continue the selection up, off the screen.  Note the
      scroll speed, which is reasonable.

      Now, do the same thing, except go down.  Note the scroll speed, which
      is SLOW.  Can this speed be fixed?

   2. My mother had typed in a document with a lot of tabs.  I changed the
      document, turning the page sideways, and creating two columns.  Now,
      text disappears being pushed "off the column" by the tabs.  Delete
      the tab, and the text comes back.  It is a tricky situation to handle
      correctly, but...
