The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The following are excerpts from an article from One-to-One with Microsoft. The Microsoft BallPoint mouse is designed especially for laptop users and anyone else who needs a pointing device that takes up no desktop space. Where space is at a premium, clip the Microsoft BallPoint mouse onto your keyboard. You get the same ergonomics design, high performance features, and wide-spread compatibility as the original Microsoft Mouse, plus the same height resolution--400 points per inch. More importantly, the BallPoint mouse doesn't need a surface upon which to work. Clip it onto your laptop computer while you're on an airplane, bus, or boat with no access to a flat surface. Setup is easy. Run the setup program, place the BallPoint mouse where you want and adjust it to any angle that's comfortable. You can clip it anywhere on the keyboard, hold it in your hand or place it on a flat surface. It is designed to travel and pack light . It come with its own carrying case. The coiled cord packs easily and the connectors on both the 9-pin serial cable and the PS/2 adapter cable are designed for heavy-duty use. Once the BallPoint mouse is attached to the keyboard, you can tilt it at any angle that feels most comfortable to you. Choose from a 0, 30, 60, or 90 degree angle. It comes with a quick release connection to prevent damage to a laptop in case too much pressure is applied to the BallPoint mouse. With BallPoint attached to your keyboard and adjusted, hold it lightly in your hand, use your thumb to roll the ball, and click with your fingers. You are able to customize the BallPoint mouse completely, whether you use DOS, OS/2 or the Windows graphical environment. A simple setup program loads all the software, asks you to select which of the four mouse buttons you want to use, and asks you to roll the ball "up" so the driver software knows how you have oriented it. In DOS and the Windows environment, a control panel lets you customize acceleration levels, design with_ primary and secondary buttons, and fine-tune horizontal and vertical movements. Mouse menus are included for a variety of popular software programs. Or, with the MenuMaker utility in the box, you can generate your own customized menus for applications that don't normally support a mouse. The BallPoint mouse adjusts to fit almost any laptop or notebook computer keyboard, including systems in the Compaq, Toshiba, NEC, Zenith, GRiD, and compatible families. |
