How can I show and scroll one complete line at a time in Microsoft Word?

I am trying to get the window for Microsoft Word 2010 to show a single line of text at one time. I'm able to do this by resizing the window to show a single line and pressing the down arrow one tap at a time. However, when I reach the bottom of a paragraph, the scroll skips past the bottom line. The scrolling doesn't always center the line of text vertically either. My document is set to add a line of blank space automatically between paragraphs, if that helps.

    There is no way to control the scroll from within Word. What you can do is change the settings for your scroll wheel (in Mouse Properties).

    While I appreciate your reply, this answer does not add anything to my original query.

    There are a few options that control how much the wheel should scroll at a time. You could try changing them and see if that improves things.

    Thank you for your post, but this does not speak to the question I asked about scrolling one line at a time.
