Thanks for replying Don, but that's why I said I had to keep moving the mouse
... back and forth. In the old version, I just had to move the mouse below
the window and it would continue to scroll without further movement. When
you are highlighting a large amount of text the having to continually move
back and forth is a pain.
Thanks anyway.

Are you wanting to highlight, yellow background? Or, gather text with the
mouse?.

If gathering text with the mouse, when at the bottom of the display, try
moving the mouse left and then to the right while moving the mouse downward.

In my old windows 2000 version of notepad, when highlighting a large
amount
of data in notepad, I could just move my mouse below the window and it
would
continue to scroll down and highlight. Now in xp I have to continually
move
my mouse to get the highlighting to continue scrolling down. Is there a
setting I can change to make this work the way it used to?

Also, is there a way to start highlighting, and then have it jump to the
bottom of the file (highlighting everything in-between?

Hope I'm clear on my questions.
Thanks.
