Use the mouse to move around

You can move around in Microsoft Outlook by using either your mouse or the Microsoft IntelliMouse or Microsoft IntelliMouse Trackball pointing devices, which give you more mouse features and which have a wheel/wheel button that you can rotate or hold down to make navigation easier.
