Adam, There should be a "Function" key on your keyboard. When using this key in combination with the other keys on the keyboard, you achieve different things. I've always had to get sighted help to figure out which keys can be used with the function key. There is usually a color code that lets you know which keys work with the function key. When you hold down the function key and press another key that works with it you get that key command. On some computers there is a way to "lock" the function key. The function key is also how you access the "embedded" numpad from your keyboard if you do not have a dedicated numpad.

Hi all, I have just purchased a new dell desktop. It comes with a keyboard that has no dedicated numlock key. I have numlock set to off in jaws. Even so the numpad still stays as numbers. Does this mean I have to use another keyboard? -- Adam Morris Phone: +61 2 888 93939 email: [email protected] Skype: adamwilliam Twitter: awmorris msn: [email protected] For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
