Using the Mouse
As an alternative to the keyboard, you can use your
mouse to choose commands from the menus and
select items on the screen. To move the mouse
pointer, just slide the mouse on your desk in the
direction you want to move the pointer; the mouse
pointer will move on the screen in the same direction.
Mouse pads are not required, but they do provide a
clean, flat surface.
Once you have pointed to an item with the mouse,
you can select the item by tapping the left mouse
button once. For some tasks, such as opening a
document or running a program, you’ll need to
double-click the item. To double-click, point to the
item and tap the left mouse button twice, quickly.
The right mouse button functions differently in each
application. In many programs, the right button
displays a context-sensitive menu.
