The Mouse

Your mouse probably has at least two buttons on it. The button on the left is called the primary mouse button, the button on the right is called the secondary mouse button or just the right mouse button. I'll just refer to them as the left and right mouse buttons. Many mice have a small wheel between the two mouse buttons. ow you use the mouse are as follows:

*

Point: To point to an item means to move the mouse pointer so that it's touching the item.
*

Click: Point to the item, then tap (press and release) the left mouse button.
*

Double-click: Point to the item, and tap the left mouse button twice in rapid succession - click-click as fast as you can.
*

Right-click: Point to the item, then tap the mouse button on the right.
*

Drag: Point to an item, then hold down the left mouse button as you move the mouse. To drop the item, release the left mouse button.
*

Right-drag: Point to an item, then hold down the right mouse button as you move the mouse. To drop the item, release the right mouse button.
