Many commands in Windows are executed by moving the mouse pointer to an item and pressing the left or right button on the mouse. In this documentation, the following terms will be used for mouse operations:
Click
Place the mouse cursor onto a menu, button, field, etc., and press the left button on the mouse. (If you are using a touchscreen, tap the menu, button, field, etc., with one finger.)
Right-Click
Place the mouse cursor onto a menu, button, field, etc., and press the right button on the mouse. (If you are using a touchscreen, touch and hold with one finger until a box or circle appears, then lift your finger off the screen.)
Double-Click
Place the mouse cursor onto a menu, button, field, etc., and press the left button on the mouse two times rapidly. (If you are using a touchscreen, rapidly tap twice with one finger.)
Click and Drag
Place the mouse cursor onto a menu, button, field, etc., press the left button on the mouse, and - while holding the button down - move the mouse to another location. (If you are using a touchscreen, tap and drag with one finger.)
