Moving the insertion
point
The insertion point is a flashing, vertical line which is dis
played in text between two characters. Characters can be
inserted at the insertion point position either using the key
board or by pasting from the clipboard.
To move the insertion point using the mouse:
1. If necessary, move the text
displayed using the scroll bars
within the window or the list box until the desired section
is displayed. To do this, click above or below the scroll
button on the scroll bar, depending on the direction of
movement required.
2. Click on the position where the insertion point is to be
placed.
Marking the text You
can mark parts of the text to edit a certain area of a pro
gram or an input field. Further edits can be carried out on the
selected area such as deleting, cutting, copying and pasting.
To mark the text by dragging with the mouse:
1. Move the mouse cursor to the start
of the text.
2. Drag the mouse over the text which you wish to mark.
3. Release the left−hand mouse button.
Clicking with the right−
hand mouse button
If an action is to be carried out using the right−hand mouse
button, then this will be specifically mentioned. Otherwise
any clicking is to be carried out using
the left−hand button.
In many applications, clicking on an element with the right−
hand button opens a context menu for that element.
Context menus In many newer Windows programs, commands can also be
called up using so−called Context menus". A context menu
appears when an element or window is clicked on using the
right−hand button.
Context menus differ according to the window content or the
element selected, i.e. they contain a sensible subset of the
main menu entries.
