My new HP ENVY 17t Quad TouchSmart laptop has a touchpad, but no left or right action buttons.  How do I simulate their action.  Apparently a single tap simulates a left click, but how do I get a right click?  How do I drag a cell in a spreadsheet (to copy it) using the touchpad?  I may have to end up using a mouse.

I believe that model features a ClickPad, which doesn't have distinct left/right-click buttons but does have left/right-click areas where the buttons would normally be. See Using and Configuring the ClickPad for more info.

my HP TOuchsmart 17t DOES have right and left click areas in the bottom left and right corners of the touchpad. The left one works, when i press down, it depresses and i get a left click. The right one also depresses but I get no right click. For anyone to say this model does not have these buttoms, well, you just don't know this model laptop I guess.
