To move the cursor, gently push the pointing device in the direction 
you want the cursor to move. Pushing harder on the pointing device 
moves the cursor faster. 

Primary button—Performs the same function as the left button on 
a mouse. 

When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the 
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary button. To 
double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid succession.

Secondary button—Performs the same function as the right button 
on a mouse.

The TouchPad

™

, the small, rectangular area 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 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.

❖

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 from left to right.

❖

To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to left.

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 have positioned your cursor, you can click it into place by 
either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons.

There are two active regions on the TouchPad

™

 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. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the 
bottom edge of the TouchPad. This feature can be disabled or 
changed in the Mouse Properties dialog box.

When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the 
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand) 
button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid 
succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left 
mouse button.
