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. (There is no audible pen tip “click” sound.) 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.
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.
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.
•
