The mouse’s left button is typically used to select options from menus, activate but-
tons, and highlight text in various programs. The right button frequently activates
menus with shortcuts for performing various tasks. If you have a Microsoft
IntelliMouse (see Figure 4-5), it includes a wheel that you can rotate forward and back
or press like a button to perform a number of operations.
The following software is required for using the IntelliMouse wheel:
‡
Windows 98 or Windows NT Workstation
‡
IntelliPoint 2.

Application programs that support the wheel; for example, Microsoft Office or
Internet Explorer

have all the necessary software, the IntelliMouse functions as a standard two-button
mouse.

configuration, double-click the
Mouse icon in the Control Panel (refer to “Control
Panel” in Chapter 2). For more information, refer to the mouse documentation that
came with your system.
