In a Numbers spreadsheet, one can select any number of rows and move them to a new position either above or below the original position of the rows. When moving the rows beyond what is currently displaying, though, the scrolling action is way too fast to be controllable. I end up at the top of the spreadsheet or the bottom, very quickly bypassing the location where I actually want to drop the rows.
Any way to slow this action down?
Thanks.

"Any way to slow this action down?"
Hi Robert,
Yes,there is. Using it, I was able to watch a table row take about 9 seconds to scroll from bottom of the screen to the top, a distance between the width of an A4 sheet and a US Letter size sheet (about 20cm or 8 inches.
Theres a narrow(about the width of the Row control at the bottom of the reference tabs to the left of the table) zone close to the edge of the document window where you can place the pointer for a slow scroll rate (which can be much slower than the one described above). Closer to the edge of the document window, the action speeds up quickly (as you've noticed)
The same action works on all four sides of the window.

I didn't follow this explanation, Barry, but experimenting around I found that I can select the row(s), start to move them, then simply scroll the page up and down on the trackpad.
Definitely an easier and less touchy method than I've been using.
Thanks for sharing.
