Basic Mouse and Keyboard Techniques

This following explains some of the basic terms that are used in this manual.

Choosing and Selecting Items

In any Windows application, the terms choose and select have different, and

specific, meanings. Selecting an item usually means marking it with the

selection cursor, which can appear as a highlight, a dotted rectangle, or both.

You also select check boxes in dialog boxes. Selecting alone does not initiate an

action.

NOTE NOTE A dialog box is a window that appears temporarily to

request information. Many dialog boxes have options you must

select before SW 5-Standard can carry out a command.

One way to select an item is to point at it and click.

You choose an item to carry out an action. For example, choosing an icon

might start an application, open a window, or carry out a command. You can

also choose an item from a menu, or choose a command button in a dialog box.

One way to choose an item is to point at it and double-click.

Menus and dialog boxes are discussed in great detail in the Microsoft Windows

User’s Guide.
