I don't have my laptop here, right at the moment; so have to go by memory. Just like the FN-key along with the J K L and so forth, makes out the numeric keypad; in a similar way, the FN-key, along with the topmost row of yor keyboard, makes out special keys. That is, FN along with the Function keys, might perform special tasks, and features. Be a bit careful, as some models tends to have certain features there, which might affect your system. I do believe, on my laptop, which is an HP, the FN along with the Insert, is the combination that makes NumLock. It might say so, on your keyboard. I.e, the Insert key, might have both the labels printed on it: INSERT, NumLock. But, basically, you will have to play a bit around.
Have you tried, open the 'learning mode' by Insert-1, and then play around there? Hold down your FN-key, and press one by one of the keys on your keyoard, and see what WE tells you. Just remember, to have some kind of notetaker handy, that you might write down, for later reference, what the different combinations mean. Hope this helps you, and any other user with a laptop. ----- Original Message ----- From: Heidi To: 'GW Info Discussion List' Sent: Friday, September 24, 2010 6:40 PM Subject: laptop lay out Hello all Just got a new lap top for work which is pretty light and smaller than the last one I had. I am having one problem. IT doesn't have a number pad, which is fine because I know where the function key is and how to use the letters in conjunction with the function key to act as the mouse. It appears that the numb lock is on though. When I use the function keys with the letters, it says the number and does not read the screen. I asked my husband to find the numb lock key and he is saying it is not there. Please help. I changed the keyboard from r default to laptop and it has not made a difference. Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
