ActivPen - Your ActivPen is like a mouse – it performs the same left and right click functions and enables you to control the cursor as you touch, click and draw directly on the ActivBoard. - By holding the pen in close proximity to the board, or sliding it gently over the board’s surface, you can achieve the same effect as rolling the mouse to move the cursor. - <span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: tahoma; msobidifontfamily: tahoma;">The pen tip is the equivalent of the LEFT mouse button. If you normally open applications by double clicking with the mouse, two firm, rapid taps or pushes on the board produces the same effect. - <span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: tahoma; msobidifontfamily: tahoma;">The side button is the equivalent of the RIGHT mouse button. To access menus and features that you would normally get to by right clicking, hold the pen close to the board and press the barrel button. Using this function allows you to use context sensitive menu commands, such as copy or paste.
