Using the touch screen

Using touch screen gestures

The computer allows you to use your fingers or the digitizer pen to perform certain actions on the
touch screen.
NOTE: The instructions in this section are based on the preferences set at the factory. To modify
settings for recognized taps and flicks, tap Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Pen
and Touch.
NOTE: Some gestures are not supported in all programs.

Tapping

Tap or double-tap an item on the screen as you would click or double-click with an external mouse.
Tap and hold an item to see the context menu.
NOTE: You must tap and hold your finger until the operating system draws a circle around the area
you are touching, and then the context menu appears.

Flicking

Touch the screen in a light, quick flicking motion up, down, left, or right to navigate through screens or
quickly scroll through documents.
NOTE: For the flick movement to work, a scrollbar must be present and in the active window.

Dragging

Press your finger on an item on the screen, and then move your finger to drag the item to a new
location. You can also use this motion to slowly scroll through documents.
