    I have a mouse with only two buttons but I still need to use the middle mouse click for some programs. Is there a way to emulate the middle mouse click (e.g. by adding a keyboard shortcurt) in Windows 7?

    If you are at all familiar with AutoIt or Autohotkey you could map any button you like to function as the middle mouse button. If you're not familiar with them, it will take less than 10 minutes to download, install and learn the syntax required to do this.

    Try pressing both the left and right mouse buttons at the same time. If it doesn't work, take a look at this: http://cybernetnews.com/helpful-tip-middle-click-on-a-touchpad-laptop-mouse/.

    Try searching the forum next time, there is already an answer: How can I emulate middle click in Windows on a touchpad?

    The functions you're looking for are RegisterHotKey and SendInput.

    Perhaps,it may not work as you stated .. in browser, if you set your cursor upon a link, and then click middle button, it's "Open New Tab" function.

    I kindly want to advise to choose Babylon Dictionary and translator

    Best.

    From the "Main functionality of the program" section at the support pages: The pop-up translation function works in Microsoft Office applications and in Internet Explorer.

    Question: Why doesn’t the pop-up translation function work?

    Answer: To use the pop-up translation function, make sure ABBYY Lingvo 12 is running at the moment you want to use the function. Go to Tools -> Options -> Translation -> Look-up from other applications, and make sure the option "Show pop-up translation" is selected. The pop-up translation function works in Microsoft Office applications and in Internet Explorer. If you experience problems, try restarting ABBYY Lingvo 12. Select "Translate", then click "Exit". Pop-up translation doesn’t work in PDF files, so use hotkey translation instead.

    But there's hope:

    To use the hotkey translation function, select the corresponding option in Tools -> Options -> Translation -> Open a full entry.
