    Be bold - be brave and get familar with your software:eek:

    If you have a wheel mouse, click on the link with the wheel. That will open it in a new tab.

    I have the same mouse. I just checked and in Control Panel>Mouse the wheel is set to "middle click "...in case you want to use the wheel-click method.

    Thank you for that :) Not exactly intuitive though - I had tried most of the 'obvious' options for the scroll wheel button (Wireless Optical Mouse).
