You can use the mouse to choose commands from menus, make selections from dialog boxes, highlight ranges in a worksheet, and resize and move windows. The mouse on your workstation may have as many as three buttons. There are a few operations that require a secondary mouse button. If your mouse has more than one button, the secondary button is the button next to the left-most button.
Instructions always refer to the left-most mouse button unless otherwise indicated.
For example, 'click the cell' refers to the left-most mouse button. The secondary mouse button is referred to in the instructions as a Shift-click. For users who have more than one mouse button, either a shift-click of the left mouse button or a click of the middle mouse button will extend or reduce ranges on the display. On the screen, the mouse is represented by the mouse pointer. You use the mouse pointer to identify the focus of mouse activity.
