  1. Click the Style Manager Mouse control.

  2. Select the settings you want:

    • Handedness: Reverses mouse buttons 1 and 3.

    • Button 2: Determines whether the middle mouse button is used to extend selections (Adjust) or drag-and-drop objects (Transfer). If Adjust is selected, transfer actions (drag) will require the use of mouse button 1.

    • Double-Click: Determines the maximum time between clicks of a double-click. (Test the speed by double-clicking in the mouse picture provided.) A new double-click speed does not take effect until the next time you log in.

    • Acceleration: Sets how fast the mouse pointer moves across the display.

    • Threshold: The distance in pixels the pointer moves at a slow speed before moving at the accelerated rate.

  3. To save the changes, click OK. To return to the default settings, click Default.
