I use a mouse to scroll. No problem. Riddling about your description
(please have a look at
http://www.openoffice.org/bugs/bug_writing_guidelines.html), I think
you mean the "hand" mouse pointer that enables you to drag the
document without a wheel mouse or use of the scroll bar.
Reassigned to Christian.

you're right;

here the description and summary was not clear


yes; I meant the "hand" mouse pointer

It is still true that this feature does not exist in Ooo Writer. You cannot drag
the document using a "hand" mouse pointer, like in Acrobat reader. It would be a
nice feature, at least as an option.

Writing documents is one thing, but viewing PDFs with Writer is another!!

That's why this feature is a must.
