Getting Started
Using the TouchPad™
NOTE
Once you have positioned your cursor, you can click it into place by
either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons.

Scrolling with the TouchPad

There are two active regions on the TouchPad
scroll as you would with any wheel device on a mouse or trackball.
To scroll vertically, run your finger up or down along the right edge
of the TouchPad. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the
bottom edge of the TouchPad. This feature can be disabled or
changed in the Mouse Properties dialog box.

Control buttons

When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand)
button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid
succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left
mouse button.
The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the
program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse
button ("right-clicking"). Check your program's documentation to
determine whether it uses the right mouse button.
