2.3 Using Pen Flicks and Touch Flicks

To flick means to make gestures on the touch screen by sliding the stylus or

your finger in quick strokes. Pen flicks are stylus gestures that allow you to

do simple navigational and editing functions on the touch screen. Actions

like scrolling, moving forward and backward, copying and pasting, and

more, can be done using pen flicks. Touch flicks are just the same as pen

flicks, except that you use your finger to make the gestures on the touch

screen.

To navigate through documents, web pages and file lists

By default, the following navigational flicks are enabled in Windows Vista®:

editing flicks, do the following:

) on the taskbar and then tap Customize

your pen flicks settings.
