Thumbwheel The small transparent box that normally appears at the top of the Vertical Scroll Bar and on the left-hand side of the Horizontal Scroll Bar is called a Thumbwheel. The Thumbwheel is used to help you efficiently scroll vertically or horizontally through a document. To move the Thumbwheel, move your mouse pointer to the Thumbwheel, PRESS AND HOLD DOWN the Select Button while moving the Thumbwheel up and down or right and left along the respective scroll bars. The movement of the Thumbwheel corresponds directly and in proportion to the movement within a document in a window. This action applies for all windows except for Vertical Scrolling in the Document Window. In the Document Window, the Thumbwheel is used for paging vertically up and down or forwards and backwards within the document. To move forward or backward one screen at a time within the current document in the Document Window, move your mouse pointer above or below the Thumbwheel and click.
