Remember . . .When using the mouse, the tip of the pointer is the only thing that has any power! All the rest of the pointer is dead. So make sure the very tip is touching what you want to click on. If you are in the process of moving the mouse and you run out of room, hold the mouse button down, pick up the mouse, move it over, and keep going. Single-click: Basically, single-click on any icons that are in a bar of any sort, such as a menu bar, toolbars of any kind, sidebars, the Dock, or icons in something like the System Preferences (shown in Chapter 12). Also single-click on things that look like buttons and on any tiny triangle you see. Double-click: Just about the only things you will ever double-click on are the icons on the Desktop or in a window pane. |
