Clicking selects an object on your screen. To "click,"
point to the object and press and release the left mouse
button.

"double click" an object, point to the object and press
and release the left mouse button twice.

Pressing a mouse button holds an action until you
release a mouse button.
Drag
Dragging your mouse attaches your pointer to an object
on the screen and allows you to highlight text or move
an object. To drag an object, point to the object, press
the left mouse button, and move the mouse to the new
location.
Typical screen objects that you click or double click are
icons, buttons, and menu options.
NOTE
If your mouse pointer disappears, move your
mouse in wide circles to bring it back into the
screen.
Use a mouse pad for best results with your mouse. The
mouse pad provides traction for moving the mouse and
results in more sensitivity and control of movement. A
textured pad provides more traction than a smooth pad.
Keep the mouse pad clean.
