Mouse Tips Everyone Should Know

Do you take full advantage of the computer mouse?

Quickly Zoom In and Out

           Hold down the Ctrl key and roll the wheel on the mouse. It will enlarge or shrink the print on a web page, word document, excel spreadsheet, depending which way you roll the mouse.

Select with double and triple click

          Any word can be easily selected by double-clicking the word. If you want to highlight the whole paragraph, click the mouse button three times on any text in the paragraph.

Use the right-click on the mouse

          Take full advantage of the right-click any time you highlight text or wish to view the properties of an object.
For example, if you highlight a file or text, you can right-click that highlighted item copy it and then right-click anywhere else to paste it.

Manage the open window with the mouse

          Double-click the top title bar of any window to maximize a window or if it is already maximized resize it to a window. You can also double-click the icon for the window in the top-left corner of the window to close that window.
