USING THE TOUCHPAD

A TouchPad pointing device comes built into your computer. It is used to control the movement

of the pointer to select items on your display panel.

The cursor

Clicking

Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the cursor to the item you

wish to select, press the left button once, and then i mmediately release it. To right-click, move

the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately

release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the

TouchPad once.

Double-Clicking

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This

procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item

you wish to select, press the left button twice, and then immediately release it. You also have the

option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the TouchPad twice.

Dragging

Dragging means pressing and holding the left button, while moving the cursor. To drag, move the

cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its

new location and then release it. Dragging can also be done using only the TouchPad. First, tap

the TouchPad twice over the item you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on the pad

after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger across the

TouchPad, and then release your finger. Using the Scroll bar allows you to navigate through a

document quickly without using the window's scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you

are navigating through on-line pages.

Control works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only

requires light pressure from the tip of your finger. The touchpad includes the left and right

buttons that function as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the left and right buttons

may vary depending on the application that is being used. Finally, the scroll bar allow you

to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the on-screen cursor to manipulate

the up and down scroll bars.
