The Right Mouse Button can be a great way to reduce time while working on the computer. Most programs and web browsers can utilize the right mouse button as a shortcut to menu options such as copy, cut, paste, spell-checker, formatting, and many more options. 

Examples (see screen grabs of menus that appear when clicking right mouse button

Microsoft Excel (right mouse button menu)

Microsoft Word (right mouse button menu)


Internet Explorer 9.0 (right mouse button menu)

Most, if not all programs have incorporated using the right mouse button as a shortcut to commands. Try it out. Next time you are browsing the web, or using one of the Microsoft Office programs, click the right mouse button. You'll be amazed at how much moving of the mouse to the menu bar you can eliminate with this button!
