CLICKING
You typically click to highlight or select something on the screen, and double-click to open it.
Clicking. Tap the pen tip once on the tablet, or press the pen tip on the tablet with enough force to
register a click. (If C
LICK
S
OUND
is selected in the Bamboo control panel and your computer speakers are
on, then you will hear a “click” sound when the pen tip is pressed hard enough to generate a button click.)
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. 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
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.
Hint: You can configure Windows to select when
the pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with
a single click. To turn on this feature, first open a
folder.
