A mouse allows users to control the cursor and move around the screen very quickly.
Making the same movements with the arrow keys on the keyboard would take much
longer. As you move the mouse on your desk, the pointer usually looks like and I-
bar, an arrow, or a pointing hand, depending on what you are doing. A mouse has one
or more buttons to communicate with computer. For example, if you want to place
the insertion point or choose a menu option, you just click (press and release) on the
mouse button, and the option is chosen. The mouse is also used to select text and
items on the screen. You can highlight text to be deleted, copied or edited in some
way. The mouse is widely used in graphics and design. When you want to move an
image, you position the pointer on the object you want to move, press the mouse
button, and drag the image to a new location on the screen. Similarly, the mouse is
used to change the shape of a graphic object. For example, if you want to convert a
square into a rectangle, you grab one corner of the square and stretch it into a
rectangle. The mouse is also used to start a program or open a document: you put the

3
pointer on the file name and double click on the name - that is, you rapidly press and
release the mouse button twice.
