2.4.1. USING THE MOUSE

2.4.1.1. Basic Mouse Techniques

The mouse controls a pointer on the screen. You move the pointer by sliding the mouse

over a flat surface in the direction you want the pointer to move. You do not press the

mouse button when you move the mouse. If you run out of room to move the mouse, lift it

and then put it down. The pointer does not move while the mouse is in the air.

The mouse has two buttons; you use the left button for all tasks in the RSS. Moving the

mouse and pressing the mouse are the only actions involved in the basic skills of pointing,

clicking and dragging.

Pointing Moving the mouse to place the pointer over an item is called pointing.

Clicking Pointing to an item on your screen and then quickly pressing and releasing

the mouse button is called clicking. You select items on the screen and move

around in a document by clicking. Double-clicking - pointing to an item and

quickly pressing the mouse button twice - is a convenient shortcut for many

of the tasks you perform in the RSS.

Dragging Holding down the mouse button as you move the pointer is called dragging.

2.4.1.2. Pointer Shapes

When you point with the mouse to different parts of the screen, the pointer shape changes,

allowing you to perform different tasks. Some commands also change the pointer shape.

The following table lists the common pointer shapes.
