+                  Clicking with the up arrow pointer sets slider to a value that

+                  imprecise).
+                  Clicking and dragging the up arrow pointer sets the value by
+                  large amounts.

+                  Clicking and dragging the two-way arrow pointer sets the value
+                  by small amounts.

+            Once you have set the value approximately, you can tune it precisely
+            using the two small arrow buttons at the right of the slider.

+          <para>
+            The value area in the slider area works as a text editor: there, you
+            can edit the value or enter a new value directly.

+          <para>
+            For some options, you can drag the pointer outside the tool dialog.
+            For example with the size slider, whose maximum value is 10,000, 
+            you can drag the mouse pointer up to the right side of your screen.
