=== On-screen arrow buttons === Many applications, such as Microsoft Word and [[PowerPoint]], contain scrollbars with on screen directional arrows for purposes of scrolling. Clicking on the arrows scrolls a small amount of the content, often single lines, at a time, and pressing and holding on them with the cursor continuously scrolls over more area on the page until released.<ref name="BatesPat" /> Sometimes, both arrow buttons appear next to each other for quick, precise manipulation without having to drag the thumb or move the mouse great distances to the other arrow (this was offered as an option in [[Mac OS 8#Mac OS 8.5|Mac OS 8.5]]); one of them may also be duplicated so as to show at both ends of the bar, providing familiarity for those used to both separate and adjacent buttons. These arrow buttons existed until [[Mac OS X Lion|Mac OS X 10.7]] where they were dropped in favor of trackpad gestures and scroll-wheel mice.<ref>[http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20126182-263/options-for-page-down-and-scrolling-in-os-x/ Workaround for Having No Scrollbar Arrows in Mac OS X Lion]</ref> In [[BeOS]], the on-screen scrolling buttons for both directions appear on both ends of the scroll bar. In several [[Microsoft Office]] programs, the additional buttons {{button|1=<span style="display:inline-block;transform:rotate(90deg);">βͺ</span>}} and {{button|1=<span style="display:inline-block;transform:rotate(90deg);">β©</span>}} can be used for per-page navigation.<ref>{{cite web |title=Windows' Scrolling Behaviour |url=https://www.osnews.com/story/22601/windows-scrolling-behaviour-really-really-annoying/ |website=www.osnews.com |date=2009-12-10}}</ref>
