Hello,
I am trying to follow a text and I have reached a point where I have to create a circle and squish it to an elipse. Unfortunately it reads that I should go out of edit mode, scale accordingly and then pressing both mouse buttons will result in the circle becoming an elipse. I do this but no joy, nothing happens. I am using a mouse with three buttons and a wheel. Please help as I'm rather stuck. Incidentally I have no intention of upgrading my version of blender yet.
regards zara

I think the place for that question is at the elysiun board:

Anyway, I think you can solve your problem by pressing "s" to begin the scaling, then move your mouse in the direction you what it scaled (e.g. up-down or left-right) then hold down the middle mouse button (press the mouse wheel) and continue dragging so that it scales only on one axis and so becomes a stretched circle (an elipse).
If there was a mistake in the book or tutorial I think you should tell the author of it.
