Mouse Stuff

Last week I mentioned that you probably have a 3 button mouse even though you only see two buttons. Try this:

1. Go online and to this web page:

2. Press your Scroll Wheel as if it were a button.
3. A circle with an up and down arrow should appear on screen.
4. Without touching the mouse scroll wheel, pull the mouse toward you. You should see the page scroll down toward the bottom of the page.
5. Push the mouse away from you and the page should scroll up to the top.
6. To disengage this feature, just click any mouse button. It should be back to normal. (You may want to read the article on this page about mousing).
7. It should also work with your word processor and spreadsheets.


Here is the 'YouTube' presentation of the week. Hope you like it:
