Using Mouse Features
The mouse supplied with your computer attaches with a cable to the mouse
connector on the back of the computer.
Note: A mouse device designed to be used through a serial port or USB connection
can also be used with your computer.
Mouse Basics
To set up the mouse, place the mouse beside the keyboard on a flat surface or mouse
pad. A mouse pad is a flat, smooth foam-rubber pad available at most computer
stores. The mouse has a ball on the bottom, so working on a flat, smooth surface is
important. Most operating systems allow you to configure the mouse buttons for
either right-hand or left-hand operation. The mouse that comes with your computer
has three buttons, and when it is configured for right-handed user, the left button is
used for most tasks. When a mouse is configured for a left-handed user, the right
button is used for most tasks. For information about using the other mouse buttons,
see your operating system documentation.
To use the mouse, slide it from side to side and forward and backward over a flat
surface. When you see an item that you want to select on the screen, simply move
the pointer to that item (this is called pointing), and press and release either the left
or right 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.
