DRAGGING
Dragging means pressing and holding the left button,
while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to
the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left
button while moving the item to its new location
and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the
Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item
you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on
the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its
new location by moving your finger across the
Touchpad, and then release your finger. (Figure 2-15)

TOUCHPAD CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The Windows Control Panel allows you to customize
your Touchpad with selections made from within the
Mouse Properties dialog box.
SCROLLING
Using the Scrolling button allows you to navigate
through a document quickly without using the
window’s scroll bars. This is particularly useful when
you are navigating through on-line pages. To use the
Scrolling button, press the crescent shape at the top or
bottom of the button to scroll up or down a page. When
you have reached the desired section of the page, release
the button. (Figure 2-16)

OPTIONAL QUICK POINT FEATURE
The optional Quick Point device consists of a cursor
control button at the lower center of the keyboard. It is
roughly the same size and shape as a pencil eraser. The
cursor control works the same way a mouse ball does,
and moves the cursor around the display. It only
requires light pressure to move; the more pressure you
use, the faster the cursor will move.
The left and right buttons that are located at the top of
the Touchpad are designed for use with the Quick Point
control, and they function in the same manner as the
lower buttons.
When used with the Quick Point button, the middle
Touchpad button allows you to scroll up and down a
screen.
■
If the interval between clicks is too long,
the double-click will not be executed.
■
Parameters for the Touchpad can be
adjusted from the Mouse Properties
dialog box located in the Windows
Control Panel.
