The TouchPad

™

, 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 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.
