Using Gestures to Improve Productivity
When using Windows® 7 on a standard laptop or desktop PC,

many people take advantage of added efficiency provided

by keyboard short-cuts. Tablet PC users have another way to

improve efficiency while working by using Windows® 7 built-in

screen gestures to open applications, close applications, move

data between applications, and navigate within applications.

Windows has two different types of gestures depending on the

type of input screen used: pen gestures and touch gestures.

Pen Gestures
In the world of pen computing, a gesture is a quick movement

of the pen that invokes specific short-cut actions normally

completed by the press of a key on a keyboard. For example, you

can enter a space, you can delete text and you can enter a line

return. These actions are accomplished in the Input Panel.

At the top on the input panel, just to the left of the close button,

is a button that shows how to accomplish a series of gestures.
