buttons, etc)

pause/play videos, submit forms, etc)

Navigating with the Mouse

Scroll Wheel

wheel. When your mouse is hovering over the ribbon at the
top of the window, Word will scroll through the different
tabs. When your mouse is hovering over the document, it
will scroll through the pages. As with the Scroll Bar, this will
only move the pages, not the cursor.
‐ If you hold down the CTRL key while using the scroll
wheel, Word will zoom in and out.
Clicking Inside Text

‐ Click once (Single Click) ‐ Word will move the cursor to


where you clicked.
‐ If you hold the SHIFT key when you click, it will select
the text from where the cursor was blinking to where you
clicked.
‐ If you hold the CTRL key when you click, it will select
the sentence you clicked on. This will not work if there is
a current selection. Once a selection is made, you can
use the CTRL key to add to the selection.
- Click twice (Double‐click) ‐ it will select the word.
‐ Click three times (Triple‐click) ‐ it will select the
paragraph.
‐ Click and Drag (don’t let go of the mouse) it will select
text, from where you first clicked to where you let go of
the mouse button. Click and Drag a selection, will move
the text to where you let go
Clicking Outside Text

If you move your mouse out into the left margin so that
the mouse cursor turns into a white arrow that
points back at the text and you:

‐ click once (Single Click) ‐ it will select the line


‐ click twice (Double‐click) ‐ it will select the paragraph
‐ click three times (Triple Click) ‐ it will select the whole
document (Same Ctrl‐A)
