Using the mouse
T
his chapter tells you how to use the mouse to select and move things
displayed on the screen. It is your principal means of communicating with
the desktop.
Holding the mouse
Hold the mouse with the cable away from you so that your fingers rest easily on the
three buttons. If you are right-handed, you should hold it like this:
Move the mouse around and watch the pointer move around the screen. If you run out of
space to move the mouse, lift it up and put it down again in a more convenient position.
While the mouse is lifted, the pointer will not move, and when you put it down again you
can carry on where you left off.
Use the mouse on a smooth but non-slippery surface. A mouse mat (available from your
supplier) is ideal. Other surfaces on which the mouse works well are wood and glass.
The mouse will not work well on painted metal or highly varnished surfaces.
