HOLDING A MOUSE


                 Look at the fingers of our hand. We place our palm on the mouse gently. Then
                 we put our index finger on the left mouse button and the middle finger on the

                 right mouse button. These two fingers are used for clicking.

                 MOUSE PAD

                 A mouse  is  usually kept  on a pad,  which is  called  a
                 mouse pad. The mouse pad keeps our mouse free from

                 dust and makes it easier to use.

                          ACTIONS OF A MOUSE

                 Pointing and Clicking are the two main actions of a mouse. Pointing means to

                 point at something using a mouse pointer whereas Clicking means selecting
                 any object or item. Many actions can be performed using a mouse.


                                                                                                        Click
                 SINGLE-CLICK

                 When we click  the left mouse  button  once, it  is called a

                 single-click or click. This selects an item.
