A Look at the Computer
Using the Scroll Mouse
The mouse directs the cursor on the Windows desktop. Use the mouse to move quickly and easily through a document or Web site.
Moving the scroll wheel on your mouse through a document or Web site is faster than using the scroll bar. You can use the scroll wheel to:
■Scroll forward or backward through a document or Web site by turning the scroll wheel forward or backward.
■Autoscroll by pressing down on the scroll wheel until it clicks (you will see an autoscroll icon on your desktop). Move the mouse vertically, horizontally, or diagonally to scroll in the desired direction. The farther you move the cursor from the starting point icon, the faster the scrolling occurs. To stop, press the mouse button.
