Selecting Objects and Entering Commands
Some commands allow you to work with more than one
object. You can select several objects, highlighting
each of them, and then enter a command to affect all of
the highlighted objects.
You can select objects with the mouse, use the keyboard
keys, or type the name of the item.
When you see the Office window, one of the Office
objects is always marked by a highlighting bar and a
dash on the left side. This highlighting acts as a
cursor in the Office, Office object, and folder
displays. By moving this cursor, you point out the
objects you want to use.
Applications use different types of cursors, depending
on the kinds of operations you are performing. See the
application manuals for details.
The arrow symbol is the mouse pointer and is controlled
by moving the mouse. You can use this pointer to move
the cursor and point to the objects you want to open or
use.
Using the Mouse

1 Move the mouse pointer into the window.
