Quick Point Device Control Adjustment
The Mouse Properties in your Windows
Control Panel provides customization of
your Quick Point pointing device. There
are three (3) aspects of the Quick Point
pointing device operation which you
can adjust.
■
Buttons – This lets you set up the buttons for
right or left handed operation and set the
time interval for double clicking.
■
Pointers – This lets you set up the size and
shape of the cursor for different functions.
■
Motion – This lets you set up the relation of
the speed of motion of your finger to the
motion of the cursor and to enable a trailing
tail for the cursor arrow.
You may want to try practicing with different
adjustments until you find a combination that
is comfortable for you.
POINT
The interval between clicks for double
clicking, and other parameters of pointing
and selecting, can be adjusted with the
selections in the dialog box of the mouse
icon in your Windows Control panel.
Dragging
Dragging means moving the cursor over an
object, pressing the left button – and keeping
it pressed – while moving the cursor to the
desired new location, then releasing the button.
