Using the TouchPad

The TouchPad
front of the keyboard, is sensitive to touch and enables you to
move the cursor with the stroke of a finger. Simply move
your finger on the TouchPad in the direction you would like
to move the cursor:

To move the cursor to the top of the page, push your
finger forward on the TouchPad.
❖
To move the cursor to the bottom of the page, drag your
finger toward yourself.
❖
To move the cursor to the right side of the page, slide
your finger across the TouchPad from left to right.
❖
To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to
left.
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
to 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.
