Using a Mouse
A mouse is a device that you use to point to and select objects on the monitor screen.
It connects to your computer by a cable. Some mouse devices are designed for the
round mouse connector on the back of your computer; other mouse devices are
designed for the D-shaped serial connector. You can use either type of mouse, if
the correct software (device driver) is installed.
With a mouse, you can move the pointer on the monitor screen. If you have never
used a mouse before, it might feel a bit awkward at first. However, with a little
practice, the mouse movements will seem natural.
To use the mouse, slide it from side to side and forward and backward on a flat
surface. The pointer on the monitor screen moves as you move the mouse. When
you see an item that you want to select on the screen, you simply move the pointer
to that item (this is called pointing). Then you press and release the left button on
the mouse (this is called clicking).
To learn how to use the mouse with the software in your computer, see the
documentation accompanying the software.
Some programs support only one mouse button, others support two, and some
support three. Despite the differences, some terms are fairly standard throughout
the industry.
Point Move the mouse so the pointer is on the object you want.
Click Press and release the mouse button once.
Double-click Rapidly press and release the mouse button twice.
Drag Point to an object, press the mouse button, and hold it down as you
move the mouse to relocate the object.
Drop After dragging an object to a new location, release the mouse button.
