Mouse - Scroll Wheel

Modified on: Tue, 23 Jul 2024 12:48 PM

Everyone is familiar with a Mouse Wheel's ability to scroll up and down on a page. However, this wheel can also do more!


  • Open a new web page tab by clicking any link using the wheel button.
  • Click the scroll wheel anywhere on the tab again to close it - you don't have to reach for the X if you have several Tabs open.
  • In a document; hold the CTRL key down and scroll the wheel forward to make the text appear larger on the screen - this works on the desktop too, to make icons appear larger on the screen.
  • In a large document; click and hold the scroll wheel while moving the mouse forward or back to activate the Zoom tool. You will scroll through much faster!
  • In a PDA document; double-click  the scroll wheel to view current page number.


Happy clicking!
