How to Double-Click, Right-Click and Drag on Windows 11

What you need: A Windows 11 computer with a mouse or a touchpad, and a web page with words on it open on the screen, such as the practice page that opens when you click Start the demo below these steps on the website.

Steps

1. To double-click a word, put the pointer on a word in the middle of a line of plain words, not on a link (links are often blue or underlined). Keeping the pointer still, press the left mouse button (or the lower-left part of the touchpad) twice quickly. The word is highlighted, shown with a colored background. If it is not, try again a little faster, without moving the pointer between the two presses. If two quick presses are still hard, give yourself more time to double-click.
2. To right-click the highlighted word, keep the pointer on it and press the right mouse button (or the lower-right corner of the touchpad) once. A small menu of choices, such as Copy, opens beside the pointer.
3. To close the menu without choosing anything, click once on an empty part of the page, away from the menu and the words. The menu closes.
4. To highlight a whole line, put the pointer on a short line of plain words, such as a heading, and press the left mouse button (or the lower-left part of the touchpad) three times quickly, keeping the pointer still. The whole line is highlighted.
5. To drag, put the pointer just in front of the first letter of a word. Hold down the left mouse button, move the pointer to the end of a word further along the line, and release the button. On a touchpad, press down on its lower-left part and keep pressing while you slide your finger, then lift it. The words you moved across are highlighted.

Expected result: You highlighted one word by double-clicking, opened and closed a right-click menu, highlighted a whole line by clicking three times, and highlighted several words by dragging across them.
