Reference Guide

If your computer or tablet has a touch screen display, you can touch the screen to interact with the items instead of using a mouse or a
keyboard. Some of the basic tasks that you can perform using a touch screen are open files, folder, and apps, zoom‑in, zoom‑out, scroll,
rotate images, and so on.
You can perform the tasks that you would normally perform using a mouse, such as open files, folders, and applications, scroll using the
scroll bar, close and minimize windows using the buttons on the window, and so on.
You can also use the on‑screen keyboard using the touch screen.
Touch screen gestures
Touch screen gestures enhance the usability of a touch screen by allowing you to perform tasks like zoom, scroll, rotate, and so on, by
sliding or flicking your finger on the display.
NOTE: Some of these gestures are application-specific and may not work in all applications.
