To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to
left.
NOTE: Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display
screen, moving your cursor across the screen often means having
to move your finger several times across the TouchPad in the
preferred direction.
Once you’ve positioned your cursor, you can either click it
into place by double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the
control buttons. For more on the TouchPad, see

Control buttons
When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move
the cursor to the item, then press and release the primary
(left-hand) button. To double-click, press the primary button
twice in rapid succession. The primary button usually
corresponds to the left mouse button.
The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on
the program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right
mouse button. Check your program’s documentation to find
whether it uses the right mouse button.
