    Can't select text on laptop
    I am new to having a laptop and I am still getting used to the keyboard. My question is... how do I select text without a regular mouse? I've searched around and cannot find help.

    Place your cursor at the beginning of the text, hold down the Left Click button and use your finger on the trackpad to drag across the text, this will highlight the text.

    You can also just double tap on the pad and then drag across the text to highlight. It does the same thing without buttons.
