Apple G3 manual Moving Items on the Screen

Moving Items on the Screen

You use your PowerBook trackpad to move items and select items on the screen, much as you use a mouse with a desktop computer. To move the arrow pointer on the screen, slide your finger across the trackpad. To select, click, or double-click an item on the screen, use the trackpad button.

Trackpad Trackpad button

The trackpad is sensitive to how quickly you move your finger. To move the pointer a short distance across the screen, move your finger slowly across the trackpad. The faster you move your finger, the farther the pointer moves on the screen.

Tips for Using the Trackpad

For best results when using the trackpad, keep in mind these tips:

mUse only one finger.

mUse only your finger on the trackpad. Do not use a pen or any other object.

mKeep your finger and the trackpad dry. If the trackpad becomes moist from humidity or condensation, gently wipe it with a clean cloth before you use it.

mNever use any kind of cleaning solution on the trackpad.

Note: You can set the trackpad to double-click and select items directly instead of using the button. For more information on configuring the trackpad, look in the Help Center, available from the Help menu.
