www.gateway.com Using gestures A gesture is a shape you draw with your tablet PC pen to send a command to your tablet PC Input Panel. You can also use gestures to control the insertion point in the active program. When you use these gestures, you get the same result as pressing the corresponding key on a standard keyboard. Gesture To accomplish Backspace Draw a right-to-left line. Space Draw a left-to-right line. Enter Draw a vertical line down, then horizontally to the left Tab Draw a vertical line up, then horizontally to the right. Delete ■ Strike through ■ Vertical scratch-out in the pattern of an M or W ■ Horizontal scratch-out in the pattern of a Z ■ Circular scratch-out ■ Angled scratch-out • You will find more information about gestures and gesture symbols, as well as handwriting tips, in the TIP help. For more information, see "Using the Tablet Input Panel (TIP)" on page 16. Using the pen Pen button The pen button serves the same function as the right button on a mouse. Press it and tap (button-tap) to open right-click menus when they are available. Tips • Hold the pen the same way you hold a writing pen, and steady your writing hand by resting it on the display surface. • Line up the pointer before you tap, in cases where the pointer and pen point are out of alignment. The screen reads the position of the pointer, not the tap. • Store the pen in the tablet PC's pen holder. Store extra pens in a drawer to avoid prolonged pressure on the pen tip. • The pen has internal electronics, so keep it dry and avoid contact with liquids. 15
