Hi Alan, if you want to use the laptop layout for JAWS instead of the desktop layout, here is what you do. Bring up the JAWS menu. Now, open options menu. Then open basics. Start tabbing. There will be a list of three different keyboard layouts. Arrow down to laptop. Tab to Okay and press enter. Now, what you need to do is go to the help section in JAWS and read the book on laptop key commands. If you do not have a num pad, you have to learn a whole new set of commands. I like these commands much better and use them on a desktop. For example, the Caps lock is not the JAWS key. If you hold caps lock down and press M comma or period, you will hear previous letter, the current letter the cursor is on, or the period will give you the next letter. J, K, and L work the same way but for previous, current, or next word. U, I, and O do lines. This is much better than using the numpad, because the commands are right at your finger tips. If you are looking for a pure insert key, turn on keyboard help and tap keys to the right of the function keys or down the very right hand side of the keyboard. It may not say insert, but if you hear nothing when you press keys, one of those would be an insert key.
