touchpad as an alternative method of pressing the left button will no longer
be valid.

Configuring the Touchpad

You may want to configure the touchpad to suit your needs. For example, if
you are a left-handed user, you can swap the two buttons so that you can
use the right button as the left button and vice versa. You can also change
the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer, and so on.
To configure the touchpad, go to Control Panel

Operating Your Computer
Press and hold the left button, then move your finger
until you reach your destination (drag). Finally, release
the button (drop) when you finish dragging your
selection to the destination. The object will drop into
the new location.
–or–
Gently tap twice on the pad and on the second tap,
keep your finger in contact with the pad. Then, move
your finger across the pad to drag the selected object to
your destination. When you lift your finger from the
pad, the selected object will drop into place.
To scroll is to move up and down or left and right in the
working area on the screen.
To move vertically, place your finger on the right or left
edge of the pad and slide your finger up and down
along the edge. To move horizontally, place your finger
on the top or bottom edge of the pad and slide your
finger left and right.
This function works only after you install the touchpad
driver supplied with the computer and configure the
touchpad to enable the function. It may not work for all
applications.
