Scroll wheel support
You can use a pointing device (mouse) equipped with a scroll wheel with FileMaker Pro to browse through records, scroll up and down, and scroll in a field or portal formatted with a vertical scroll bar. In Windows, you can also change the magnification of the image on your screen (zoom in or out).
