Re: [libreoffice-users] Difficulty with Page Up, Page Down, and scrolling

I have been using a Logitech Trackball without problems with both 
OpenOffice and then with LibreOffice.

My suggestion is that first you go to the Logitech web site and 
download the latest drivers for the trackball.  After installing the 
new driver, go to Control Panel --->Mouse Settings.  You should be 
able to select what operation you want each button and the wheel to 
do.  My wife's computer has XP and when she installed a Logitech 
Wheel Mouse, we had to reset the operation of the wheel so that it 
did not scroll an entire page with each click of the wheel.
