Using the TouchPad
/Dual Mode Pad
The TouchPad/Dual Mode Pad, the small, smooth, square
cutout located in front of the keyboard, is sensitive to touch
and enables you to move the cursor with the stroke of a
finger. Simply move your finger on the TouchPad/Dual Mode
Pad in the direction you would like to move the cursor:
To move the cursor to the top of the page, push your
finger forward on the TouchPad/Dual Mode Pad.
To move the cursor to the bottom of the page, drag your
finger toward yourself.
To move the cursor to the right side of the page, slide
your finger across the TouchPad/Dual Mode Pad from
left to right.
To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to
left.
Because the TouchPad/Dual Mode Pad 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/Dual
Mode Pad in the preferred direction.
Once you have positioned your cursor, you can click it into
place by either double-tapping the TouchPad/Dual Mode Pad
or clicking the control buttons.
Scrolling with the TouchPad
/Dual Mode Pad
There are two active regions on the TouchPad/Dual Mode Pad
that allow you to scroll as you would with any wheel device
on a mouse or trackball.
To scroll vertically, run your finger up or down along the right
edge of the TouchPad/Dual Mode Pad. To scroll horizontally,
run your finger along the bottom edge of the TouchPad/Dual
Mode Pad. This feature can be disabled or changed in the
Mouse Properties dialog box.
