    Using the touch pad
    Adjusting touch pad settings
    While you are typing, the on-screen pointer may seem to 
    move or jump around “by itself” to random locations on the 
    screen. The on-screen pointer may also seem to 
    automatically select text, click buttons, and activate other 
    user interface elements. For help with these problems, try 
    one or more of the following:
    ❖Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental 
    contact with the touch pad. You may be inadvertently 
    brushing the touch pad with the heel of your hand as you 
    type. Also, accidental light touches or taps on the touch 
    pad may select an item or text on the screen, and 
    potentially the item or text may be replaced by the next 
    character you type.  Scroll 
    horizontallySlide your finger along the 
    bottom edge of the touch pad in 
    the direction you want to scroll. 
    Repeat to scroll a longer 
    distance.
