Using Your Tablet PC in Windows 7

Your Tablet PC uses several input devices. The standard keyboard touch pad are
present, plus you can opt for the electrostatic pen or just use your finger as an input
device.

Touch Usage

The key advantage of your Tablet PC is the ability to easily switch from pen input to touch
input. When you use Touch Mode, a translucent image of a computer mouse, called the
touch pointer, floats beneath your finger. The touch pointer has left and right mouse
buttons that you can tap with your finger. You use the area beneath the buttons to drag
the touch pointer.
To enable the touch pointer:

Go to Start> Control Panel> Pen and Touch and click the Touch tab.

On the Touch Pointer section, select the Show the touch pointer when I'm interacting

with items on the screen option.
