Having seen Simon's reply I thought I had better recheck in case I was
talking rubbish.

I have just retried it on the AutomatedHome front screen because its a nice
long page and irrespective of whether I click just below the slider or
right
at the bottom of the scroll bar it only does a single page (well slightly
less than a screen, about 95%).

Something I did last night "fixed" this "feature"... or
broke it!!!

I did download one patch from Microsoft last night but during installation
it said some DLL's were newer than the ones it wanted to install so I chose
to keep the existing one.

I'm REALLY confused now
