Clicking

You typically click to highlight or select something on the screen, and double-click to open it.

Clicking. To click, tap the pen tip once on the tablet, or press the pen tip on the tablet with enough force to register a click. (If CLICK SOUND is selected in the Pen Tablet control panel and your computer speakers are on, then you will hear a “click” sound when the pen tip is pressed hard enough to generate a mouse click.

Adjust your speaker volume as necessary.) Try clicking on a folder icon by moving the screen cursor over the icon and pressing down on the pen tip. The folder should highlight when you press.

Double Clicking. To double-click, quickly tap the tablet twice in the same place with the pen tip. This is like clicking twice with a mouse button. Try double-clicking on a folder icon to open it.

Hints:

•Press the upper side switch to double-click. This is easier than tapping twice with the pen tip, and is the preferred method of double-clicking with a pen.

•Windows:You can make navigating with the pen easier by configuring Windows to select when the pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn on this feature:

Windows XP, 2000, or Me: Open a folder, select the TOOLS pull-down menu, and FOLDER OPTIONS.... From the

GENERAL tab select the option SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN

ITEM (POINT TO SELECT).

Windows 98: Open a folder, select the VIEW pull-down menu, and FOLDER OPTIONS.... From the GENERAL tab

select the WEB STYLE option.

Dragging

Dragging is used to select and move objects on the screen. To drag, first point to an object. Then press the pen tip to the tablet and slide it across the tablet surface. The selected object will move across the screen. To select text, move the screen cursor to the beginning of a text line, then drag the pen across the tablet until the text is highlighted.

First, try moving an icon on the screen. Then, within a document, select some text by pressing and dragging the pen tip across the text.
