move the cursor with the stroke of a finger. Simply move
your finger on the TouchPad in the direction you’d like to
move the cursor:
❖To move the cursor to the top of the page, slide your
finger forward on the TouchPad.
❖To move the cursor to the bottom of the page, slide 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.
NOTE: Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display
screen, moving your cursor across the screen often means having
to move your finger several times across the TouchPad in the
preferred direction.
Once you’ve positioned your cursor, you can select an object
on the display screen by double-tapping the TouchPad or
clicking the control buttons.
For more on the TouchPad, see “Lesson 2: Using the
TouchPad and control buttons together” on page135.
You can disable or enable the TouchPad. See “Disabling or
enabling the TouchPad” on page67.
Primary and secondary control buttons
The control buttons are below the TouchPad and are used like
the buttons on a mouse. The primary control button is the
button on the left and corresponds to the left mouse button.
To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid
succession.
The secondary control button is the button on the right and
corresponds to the right mouse button. Check your program’s
