General rules for all Open Look applications

 The basic rules for using a mouse in an Open Look application such as WAVE are:

Notice boxes and some other windows have default buttons, identified by a double oval outline. If the pointer is anywhere in the window, you can press tex2html_wrap8971 ( tex2html_wrap8973 ) instead of clicking left on the default button if you wish.

To type into a text field, move the mouse pointer near the insertion point and click left. The text cursor should appear nearby; if it is a black triangle, you may begin typing. Use tex2html_wrap9818 or tex2html_wrap9820 to erase the character to the left of the text cursor. To move the cursor within the field use the arrow keys ( tex2html_wrap9094 , tex2html_wrap9096 ), or use emacs-style commands:

tex2html_wrap9168 + tex2html_wrap9828
move to the beginning

tex2html_wrap9168 + tex2html_wrap9832
move to the end

tex2html_wrap9168 + tex2html_wrap9836
move forward one character

tex2html_wrap9168 + tex2html_wrap9840
move backward one character

Until you press tex2html_wrap8973 (or tex2html_wrap8971 ), your typing is not interpreted.

Unless spot help is disabled, you can get help on any control by pointing to it and pressing tex2html_wrap9788 (or tex2html_wrap9007 if you don't have a tex2html_wrap9788 key). To enable spot help, see ``How do I get spot help ...?''.
