Gestures
A gesture is a shape you draw with your tablet PC pen to send a command to
your tablet PC Input Panel. You can also use gestures to control the insertion
point in the active program. When you use these gestures, you get the same
result as pressing the corresponding key on a standard keyboard.
Open the Tablet Input Panel by waving the pen back and forth over the
■
screen.
Backspace by drawing a right-to-left line on the display surface.
■
In most text input programs, you can erase text by scratching it out.
■
Windows interprets a scratchout as a delete command.
To erase, draw a short, wide "Z. "
■
You will find more information about gestures and gesture symbols, as
■
well as handwriting tips, in the TIP help. For more information, see
Input Panel (TIP)" on page
Pen button
The pen button serves the same function as the right button on a mouse. Press
it and tap (button-tap) to open right-click menus when they are available.
Tips
Hold the pen the same way you hold a writing pen, and steady your
■
writing hand by resting it on the display surface.
Line up the pointer before you tap, in cases where the pointer and pen
■
point are out of alignment. The screen reads the position of the pointer,
not the tap.
Store the pen in the tablet PC's pen holder. Store extra pens in a drawer
■
to avoid prolonged pressure on the pen tip.
The pen has internal electronics, so keep it dry and avoid contact with
■
liquids.
